A 32 year old man was charged in the High Court for raping his 56 year old biological mother. The man cannot be named for legal reasons and faces one count of rape and two counts of outrage of modesty. The acts were committed on 4 Oct 2013.

Besides raping his mother, he also restrained her while kissing her breasts and forced her to touch his private parts.

Two heavyweight lawyers SC Harry Elias and SC Chelva Rajah were assigned to represent the man's defence under the Law Society's Criminal Legal Aid Scheme.
