新加坡法院因缺乏可信证据,宣告一名74岁男子及其前伴侣所有13项虐待指控无罪。 A Singapore court acquitted a 74-year-old man and his ex-partner of all 13 abuse charges due to lack of credible evidence.

新加坡一家法院宣布一名74岁的前寺庙执业医师及其66岁的前伴侣无罪开释了与其女儿据称遭受性虐待有关的所有指控,并裁定检方未能毫无合理怀疑地证明这些指控。 A Singaporean court has acquitted a 74-year-old former temple practitioner and his 66-year-old ex-partner of all charges related to alleged sexual abuse of their daughter, ruling that the prosecution failed to prove the claims beyond a reasonable doubt. Pang Khang Chau法官在申诉人的证词中发现不一致之处,质疑包括一次警察示威在内的关键证据的可信度,并指出,直到2013年底,才有一个作为指控核心的按摩床,这破坏了此前的虐待指控。 Justice Pang Khang Chau found inconsistencies in the complainant’s testimony, questioned the credibility of key evidence including a police demonstration, and noted that a massage bed central to the allegations was not available until late 2013, undermining claims of abuse before that time. 法官还认定,鉴于身体限制,所谓五秒钟的渗透是无法令人信服的,并驳回了关于故意暴露色情制品的指控,理由是该女孩自己可以接触装置。 The judge also found the alleged five-second penetration implausible given physical constraints and dismissed claims of intentional pornography exposure, citing the girl’s own access to devices. 在没有可信证据支持核心指控的情况下,所有13项指控,包括性攻击、性骚扰和共谋,均被驳回。 With no credible evidence supporting the core allegations, all 13 charges, including sexual assault, molestation, and conspiracy, were dismissed. 这对不再在一起的夫妇在被清除后没有表现出任何明显的反应。 The couple, who are no longer together, showed no visible reaction upon being cleared.
