A 41-year-old Singaporean woman was charged on Mar. 20 for impersonating a police officer and sending messages ladened with vulgarities to an unknown person, including calling the person a "slut".
Vulgar messages
According to charge sheets seen by Mothership, the woman, Yeo Yuan Xuan, faces three charges in total.
Two of these are for impersonating police officers on two occasions — once on Jan. 26, 2026, and again on Mar. 16, 2026.
Screenshots of one of these conversations circulated on Facebook.
In them, Yeo pretended to be an Investigation Officer from Tanglin Police Division.
In her messages to an unknown person, Yeo made comments such as, "We will get the doctors to say you are involved in punching and fighting with our police officers even though we know you were being bullied by all of us".
In one message, she said, "I insist you must talk to me and all my police colleagues. We will rape you if you don't listen."
The messages were also filled with vulgarities.
"We police will use the court to force you to admit crimes you never commit because you are a slut and a f*cker," another message read.

Arrested on Mar. 19
In a Mar. 19 news release, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said they were alerted on Mar. 17 to an anonymous post in a Facebook group containing screenshots which show Yeo allegedly impersonating a police officer.
Through follow up investigations, her identity was established and she was arrested on Mar. 19.
Remanded at IMH
The judge granted the prosecution's application for Yeo to be remanded at the Institute of Mental Health, The Straits Times reported.
Her case will be heard again on Apr. 2.
For each charge of impersonating a police officer, Yeo faces up to two years in prison, a fine, or both.
Additionally, Yeo faces a third charge under the Protection from Harassment Act for using abusive words against a police officer over a 999 call on Sep. 14, 2025.
If convicted, Yeo may be jailed for up to 12 months, fined up to S$5,000, or both.
"The police take a serious view of individuals who impersonate public servants, including police officers, as such acts undermine public trust and may cause confusion or alarm," SPF said in its news release.
"The police also consider any form of harassment or abusive behaviour towards officers performing their duties to be serious offences," it added.
