Man jailed for rape of maid<\/p>\n
SINGAPORE (AP): The High Court sentenced a Singaporean man to
\n15 years in jail and 18 strokes of the cane for raping and
\nharassing his maid, a news report said Saturday.<\/p>\n
Loo Cheng Lip, a married man with two young children,
\nterrorized the 26 year-old Indonesian maid over a period of four
\nmonths, the Straits Times reported.<\/p>\n
The report could not be confirmed with the High Court because
\nits offices were closed Saturday.<\/p>\n
The report said Loo, an oil company technician, forced the
\nmaid to strip on the first day she started work. He harassed her
\nconstantly for sex and finally raped her.<\/p>\n
A police report was filed after the victim managed to confide
\nin another maid when no one was at home.<\/p>\n
Loo pleaded guilty to the rape.<\/p>\n
There are about 100,000 foreign maids working in Singapore, a
\nwealthy Southeast Asian city-state of 3.2 million people. Most of
\nthe maids come from the Philippines, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.<\/p>",
