The identity of the man cannot be revealed due to a gag order to protect the woman’s identity.
However, an SCDF spokesperson told ST that the accused was working in a non-frontline role.
He has been suspended on half-pay pending investigation as it takes a “serious view” of this matter, SCDF said, adding:
We expect all our officers to uphold exemplary standards of professionalism, conduct and discipline at all times.
SCDF officers found guilty of criminal offences will face disciplinary action, which may include dismissal from service.
