A MAN on trial for raping a 22-year-old woman two years ago said that sex was on his mind before he re-entered the room where she was.
But when asked by the prosecution earlier whether he intended to resume his sex act in the room, Ong Mingwee's answer was no.
The court heard that Ong, 28, had taken the woman home on Feb 12, 2009 after a friend had introduced the woman and another girl to him at Zouk that day. They had danced togther the whole night. He claimed that the way she danced was very sexy as if she was seducing him and he felt embarrassed.
When the club closed, Ong, who runs a family provision shop, was supposed to have taken the woman to her home. Instead, he claimed that they kissed in the cab and she agreed to go to his Toa Payoh North flat where the alleged offence occurred.
When they arrived at his home, Ong left the woman in his room while he went to the toilet and to smoke. When he returned, he found that she was crying, saying she was scared and wanted to go home. He was shocked and calmed her down, after which they tried to have sex but failed.
The woman started to cry again, andwanted to call her friend and her mother, to which Ong agreed. Ong also spoke to the woman's mother but the conversation took place in the kitchen. Subsequently, he returned to the room and found her on the bed. She was not crying any more and he said they had sex with her consent.
Sidebar:
Asked by Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Leong Wing Tuck to explain why he had said earlier that he did not intend to resume his sex act and later said that sex was on his mind, Ong replied: 'The sex thing came naturally.''
The DPP then asked if it was fair to say that his actions showed that he was not a bit bothered about the woman's well being and the only thing he was interested in then was sex.
Ong said before he entered the room, he had thought of checking if she was all right. But when he entered the room, he found her 'sitting there like a normal person''. He said he did not think of asking after her any more.
Ong denied that he treated the woman like a sex object. He also disagreed with the DPP who said his conduct showed that he almost treated her like a 'sex slave''. The hearing continues.

Female high school teacher accused of having sex with 5 pupils in just five months
A single high school gym teacher had sex with five students at her school, a court was told yesterday.
Stacy Schuler, 32, had sexual relations with the students – most of whom were football players at the school – over a five-month period from last August to December, the Warren County jury heard.
The sexual acts happened off school grounds but the single teacher also bought alcohol for the students at Mason High School in Mason, Ohio, prosecutors said.
The health and physical education teacher's last reported salary was $53,000 in 2008.
She had duties including working as an athletic trainer for the school’s girls and boys sports teams.
Schuler, of Springboro in Dayton, Ohio, faces up to 81 years in jail if she is convicted of 16 counts of sexual battery and three offences involving an underage person.
She has been under investigation after an anonymous tip was called in to officials last month, according to a spokeswoman for the school, which has more than 3,000 students.
Principal Mindy McCarty-Stewart said: ‘I am committed to the safety and well-being of our students, and will not tolerate behaviour that does not conform to that goal.
‘Our staff are prepared to help our students during this situation, and know how important it is to continue to build trust with our students and families.’
The Ohio Department of Education is expected to tell the Mason Board of Education to suspend Schuler without pay, she added.
Kevin Bright, superintendent at Mason City School District, said: ‘We acted swiftly, partnered with police immediately, and are standing here today because of how seriously our high school principal took an anonymous tip.
‘Now, we owe it to our nearly 11,000 students to make sure that we’re not letting our schools and staff become distracted by this situation.
'Instead, we need to recommit ourselves to creating an environment that supports student success, achievement, and safety.’
Schuler also faced disciplinary action in November 2007 after two students were in the teacher’s classroom and missing other classes, the Dayton Daily News reported.
She said the two students had to go through some personal problems.

China dungeon rapist sentenced to death
BEIJING - A MAN was sentenced to death for kidnapping and caging two girls in a dungeon and raping nine other women, said a verdict of the Intermediate People's Court of Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province, on Sunday.
Zeng Qiangbao, a 40-year-old worker in a steel factory in Wuhan, was convicted of rape, illegally imprisoning, robbery and forcible seizure, according to the verdict.
The court heard that Zeng had caged two teenage girls in a dungeon for 590 days and 317 days as sex slaves until they were rescued by police on May 14 last year. He also raped another nine women from July 2007 to May 2010, the prosecutor said.
According to the prosecutor, on Sept 16, 2008, Zeng captured 16-year-old Hu and took her to a dungeon under his house and raped her. On July 2, 2009, Zeng kidnapped a 19-year-old girl surnamed Zhou and sexually assaulted her. The girl was also kept in the dungeon. The girls were repeatedly beaten and raped by Zeng, the prosecutor said.
The two were rescued on May 14, 2010, after a man surnamed Du visited his friend's electronics repair shop and found a note in a partially dismantled television. It read: 'Help. I've been held prisoner underground for more than a year.'
Along with the words was a hand-drawn map that showed where the girls were being kept, as well as the telephone number and address of Zhou's family. Du called the number and informed the father, who lived just 200m from where his daughter was being held. The father immediately called police and arrived at the scene a few hours later. -- CHINA DAILY/ANN

13-year-old boy who got Aids through sex is youngest ever
TAIPEI - A 13 YEAR-OLD BOY has become the youngest person to become infected with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (Aids) through sexual intercourse, according to health officials.
It is suspected that the boy became infected while working part- time for a 50 year-old male, who lured him into sex with money, said Lin Ting, deputy director-general at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The boy was visiting an adolescent centre when he tested positive for Aids, Mr Lin said, adding that the CDC had traced the source of transmission to the older man, whose test also came back positive.
Mr Lin noted that young boys were referred to as 'Sky Food,' or delicious food falling from the sky, by adult homosexuals on the internet, who seek ways of enticing boys either with money or other incentives.
According to statistics compiled last year, the number of young people contracting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has continued to rise in Taiwan. Compared to 2009, 13.3 per cent more cases were diagnosed among those aged between 15 and 24 years old, the deputy director-general said. As of today, there are 55 cases where victims are under 19 years old.
Mr Lin pointed out that sexual encounters and drug injections are the two major routes of infection. With the HIV/Aids population in Taiwan standing at 20,057, and 65.9 per cent of those with the disease were infected by engaging in sexual practices and 32.2 per cent through intravenous drug use.
