Four Singapore husbands drugged, raped wives to fulfil wife-sharing sexual fantasies
Four men pleaded guilty in a Singapore court to conspiring with other men to drug their wives with sedatives before raping them afterwards to fulfil their wife-sharing fantasies.
On Monday, the four men, who are prohibited from speaking due to court orders, pled guilty to two counts of conspiracy to rape, among other offenses. They are referred to as K, M, L, and N.
According to Channel News Asia, a woman was repeatedly raped by multiple men over at least seven years while unconscious due to being drugged and blindfolded by her husband.
The wife filed a lawsuit after seeing explicit photos of herself in her husband's chat.
Channel News Asia claims that a fifth man, J, who wedded in 2008 and has four children with his wife, is the major accomplice in these incidents.
All additional charges were considered when K, M, L, and N pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to rape each. The dispute arose after the wife saw nude photos of herself in her husband's chat app.
It was revealed in court that the men had met their cohorts online in 2010, initially on the forum Sammyboy and then on other platforms dedicated to wife-sharing fantasies.
They discussed such ideas, told intimate aspects of their sex lives, and showed each other sexually explicit videos and pictures.
As the court also heard, J, 41, had previously tried to convince his wife to watch pornographic videos to gauge her interest in a threesome. His wife voiced her strong opposition to the plan.
After this, J allegedly plotted to sedate his wife so that other men might have sexual relations with her while she was under the influence.
J met K, a 44-year-old married man without children who worked in business development, on Sammyboy in 2010 and 2011.
It was agreed that the women would be sedated and then raped by other men. They researched and settled on a substance they knew could render a person unconscious.
K used the medication he got from J to poison his wife's booze sometime between 2010 and 2012. After she passed out, he blindfolded her and summoned J. J, then sexually assaulted K's wife in front of K, who took pictures. In 2012, they did it all over again.
As J's wife recounted feeling ill in February of 2013, he took the opportunity to drug her and then allowed K to rape her.
J installed a hidden camera in his bedroom to broadcast live streams of himself having sex with his naked wife. K also did a livestream from a webcam in his room.
According to the prosecution, the men often commended each other afterward for putting on a "nice show."
Prosecutors claim that after committing sexual assault and rape, the two men shared graphic photographs of their crimes and "continued to reminisce" about them.
In January of 2020, thanks to their conversations, J's wife learned of the deeds. While J was sleeping, his wife discovered him watching a video on his phone and chatting with K through Skype.
Older texts revealed that the guys had been trading spouses for sex, and provided explicit photographs of her.
After J's wife woke him up, he deleted the potentially damning messages and went to K's house with his wife as she had requested. As the conversation progressed, K revealed that he had slept with J's wife while she was ununconscious.
K further confessed that he had knocked out his wife so that J could have sexual relations with her. On January 2, 2020, J's wife called the cops.
The authorities were able to identify more participants thanks to footage and images collected from both men.
The prosecutors in charge of the cases recommended a sentence of 19–23 years in jail and 24 lashes for both K and M. They requested 11-16.5 years in jail for L, with an additional six months in prison in place of caning.
Before the adjournment leading up to the final judgment, Deputy Public Prosecutor Gail Wong said the facts of the cases are unprecedented and involve "a gross betrayal of trust by husbands conspiring with other men against their partners".
"When a woman enters into marriage, she entrusts herself to her husband: She trusts that the man she sleeps beside will not harm her every night as she sleeps; she trusts that in sickness, the father of her children will not poison her with drugs passed off as medicine, she trusts that her husband will keep private their most intimate sexual moments together," Ms Wong said of K's case.
K is represented by lawyers Mr Wilson Yeo and Mr Ang Boon Yaw, while Mr Chua Hock Lu represents L. M is defended by lawyers Mr Suang Wijaya and Ms Sophia Ng, while N is represented by lawyers Mr Shashi Nathan, Ms Laura Yeo and Mr Jeremy Pereira.
