Former Singapore Idol judge Ken Lim Chih Chiang was given five new charges on Wednesday (28 June), on top of one he already faced.
The new charges were for insulting the modesty of three women between 1998 and 2013.
Lim, the owner of entertainment company Hype Records, allegedly either said or showed things to these women that insulted their modesty.
Besides being a judge in ‘Singapore Idol’, he also set up another reality show, ‘The Final 1’.
The charges deal with alleged incidents at either his home or at the Hype Records office.
The first charge relates to an incident between 1998 and 1999, Channel NewsAsia (CNA) reports.
He allegedly showed a female artiste a porn video of a woman having sex with multiple men.
Lim also allegedly told her that she was sexually inexperienced and that he could help with this.
Between 1999 and 2002 at Hype Records, he also allegedly asked a second woman if she was a virgin.
In addition, Lim allegedly asked her, “How can you write deeper songs if you are sexually inexperienced”.
He also purportedly asked to be her first sexual partner and how she pleasured herself sexually, according to The Straits Times (ST).
Sometime during that period, he allegedly asked her to write out her sexual fantasies as homework. Lim also allegedly offered himself as a sex partner.
Towards a third woman, Lim allegedly said, “If you can have sex for nothing, why not have sex for something”.
He allegedly unbuckled his belt and removed his belt strap.
This incident purportedly happened in 2013 at the Hype Records office.
Lim was given a charge in March for allegedly touching a 25-year-old woman’s breast using criminal force at Hype Records in 2021.
A total of four women are involved in the six charges Lim currently faces.
The 59-year-old has a wife and two sons.
Hsu was present when Lim received his charges today, ST reported.
He will return to court on 7 July.
