A woman who falsely accused a man of rape after he refused to pay her for sex has been sentenced to probation. On CNA938’s Singapore Today, Daniel Martin spoke with Noelle Teoh, Associate Lawyer at GJC Law, about the serious legal and social consequences of filing false police reports in Singapore.

In this CNA938 Rewind segment titled “When Consent Turns to Conflict: Navigating a False Rape Claim,” Noelle provided legal insights into the implications of making false accusations of sexual assault.

She discussed how such false claims not only waste public resources but also undermine genuine victims of sexual crimes. She also highlighted the legal penalties under Singapore law for lodging false police reports and stressed the importance of truthfulness and responsibility when dealing with allegations of this nature.

The discussion shed light on the broader impact of false reporting on the justice system and the reputational harm it can cause to innocent individuals.
