The alleged molest victim of a Singapore Management University (SMU) student sat through the accused's testimony yesterday, during which he repeatedly maintained that she had consented to his advances on her.
The issue of consent took centre stage during Deputy Public Prosecutor Andre Chong's cross-examination of Lee Yan Ru, 24, who is on trial for outraging the modesty of a female student during an overnight study session at SMU in 2019.
