A former physical education teacher in Singapore has been sentenced to jail and caning after repeatedly sexually abusing an underage student in hotel rooms, according to CNA.
The court heard the abuse took place in hotel rooms, CNA reports. The sentence includes both a prison term and caning.
CNA published its report on Wednesday, 16 September 2026.
The case involves a person who previously worked as a PE teacher and a victim who was underage at the time of the offences. The abuse occurred on more than one occasion, according to CNA.
The sentence of jail and caning was handed down in Singapore, where caning is a court-ordered corporal punishment used in certain criminal cases.
The report did not specify the length of the prison term, the number of caning strokes, the identity of the accused, or the name of the school involved.
Singapore courts treat offences involving the sexual abuse of minors by people in positions of trust as serious matters, and sentences in such cases can combine imprisonment with caning. CNA's report describes the outcome as a jail term together with caning.
The case adds to a series of prosecutions in Singapore involving educators accused of abusing students under their care.
Further details of the sentencing are expected to be available in the full court report.
