Victim said she was molested during a work-related interview at Lim's office
Music producer and former Singapore Idol judge Ken Lim, 61, was sentenced to 13 months' jail on Nov 18 for molesting a 25-year-old woman.
The incident happened at the Hype Records office in Henderson Road on Nov 23, 2021, when he was the executive director of the record company. Following a trial, Principal District Judge Lee Lit Cheng convicted him of a molestation charge in September.
The victim's details cannot be disclosed owing to a gag order.
On Nov 18, the prosecution, without revealing any details, made an application for Lim's five remaining charges to be withdrawn. These charges related to allegations of improper behaviour involving three other women.
Judge Lee then granted him a discharge amounting to an acquittal for these five charges.
