A male dancer was sentenced to five days' jail after he lied to the police that his boyfriend drugged and raped him.

Called "999" three times

Singapore Permanent Resident Fredy Kosman Kwee, 34, called the police emergency hotline on Jan. 2, 2019, at about 6:15pm, to report a fight at a West Coast Road flat, according to court documents.

Within the half hour after Kwee made the first call, he called the hotline another two times to request more officers, and alleged that someone tried to drug and rape him.

When an investigator from the Clementi Police Division arrived at 9:05pm, Kwee told the officer that his 50-year-old Singaporean boyfriend Lui Cheng Kiat came into his room at 3pm, covered his face with a pillow case, and force-fed him a pill.

Kwee then claimed that he lost consciousness and only woke up at 4:30pm.

Fabricated the story because he was stressed

However, when the investigator checked the area's closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, it was found that Kwee's boyfriend was not at home in the afternoon.

Even after being confronted with this piece of evidence, Kwee maintained that he was drugged and raped by his partner.

Kwee only revealed the truth when the investigator told him that an officer from the specialised crime branch would be arriving to speak to him: Kwee fabricated the story because he was stressed and felt that his boyfriend was not giving him enough attention.

Couple has reconciled

Kwee's lawyer, Malcolm Tan, told the court that Kwee was suffering from amphetamine-induced pyschosis and depression, reported Yahoo. He was previously jailed for eight months in 2016 for using methamphetamine.

Tan also said that Kwee has reconciled with his boyfriend. Both live together and attend services at City Harvest Church regularly. Kwee works at McDonald's as a guest experience leader and teaches dance part time.

Stating that Kwee was remorseful and had recanted his statement, Tan asked for a fine, or a one-day jail term along with a S$2,000 fine.

Kwee was ultimately sentenced to five days' jail.

For knowingly giving false information to a public servant, Kwee could have been jailed up to a year and fined up to S$5,000.
