Jail, caning for Indian national who violated 'safe space' by molesting women when teaching yoga classAug 30, 2024
The judge added that Ms V had testified that she remains “very affected” by her ordeal and described it as a “very traumatic experience”. Deputy public prosecutors Selene Yap and Gladys Lim had earlier said in their submissions: “ felt violated and did not expect to be molested in class by a teacher. She expected yoga classes to be a safe space and was confused about how to react.”Ms V, who was then around 24 years old, attended classes from Sept 30, 2019, to July 29, 2020, and Singh molested her twice within that time.
On Aug 5, 2020, she found out by chance on social media that he had also molested Ms C. Ms R communicated with her via Instagram before alerting the police that day.
