Sexual Offences
Singapore sexual offence guides — outrage of modesty, sexual assault and related Penal Code charges, penalties, court process and defences.
Sexual offences under Singapore's Penal Code cover a broad spectrum of conduct, from outrage of modesty to more serious charges. These cases are sensitive, often turn on detailed evidence, and carry significant consequences for everyone involved.
The guides here explain the common charges in careful, plain terms: what the prosecution must prove, the factors that influence how a case is treated, the defences that may be available, and how the process unfolds from investigation to court. Because of what is at stake and the sensitivity involved, early and discreet legal advice is important. If you are facing an allegation of this kind, speak to a criminal lawyer before responding to questions or giving any statement.
