Taking the stand yesterday, the woman, who cannot be named to protect her identity, said they had chatted for two weeks before he invited her for an overnight study session at SMU.She claimed that he then repeatedly rested his foot on her thigh, and she pushed his foot off as she felt it was unhygienic and weird.She then moved to the floor where she lay on her back and started watching a movie on Netflix.
Lee then joined her on the floor and they watched the movie lying close to each other before they moved to continue watching the movie under the table because he said the light was too glaring. When the movie ended at about 4am, she claimed Lee tickled her, reached from behind and groped her under her clothes.To lighten the mood, she then asked Lee to take her somewhere to smoke. She also gave him a"playful kick" along the way to make it more casual.
When asked by Deputy Public Prosecutor Andre Chong why she did not leave, she said it was late at night and there was no transport available.After the smoke break, the pair returned to the study room where she claimed Lee tried to kiss her, but she dodged his advances.She testified that she felt something"warm" on her thigh and suspected Lee had placed his private parts against her, but she did not look down as she did not want to see it.
If convicted, Lee can be jailed for up to two years, fined, caned, or given any combination of these penalties.
