4 men in conspiracy to rape drugged wives in wife-sharing case sentenced to jail

SINGAPORE — Four men who raped their accomplices' drugged wives after discussing wife-sharing fantasies online were sentenced on Wednesday (Nov 16).

The men cannot be named due to gag orders protecting the identities of the victims. They are part of a group of seven men in total involved in this wife-sharing rape saga.

K, 44, was sentenced to 22 years’ jail and 20 strokes of the cane. He was married with no children and was working in business development at the time of the offences.

L, 53, was given 13 years and six months’ jail. He was a business development manager and was married with three children at the time.

M, 45, was sentenced to 20 years’ jail and 20 strokes of the cane. He was a company director and had three children with his ex-wife, whom he allowed an accomplice to rape.

N, 37, was given 18 years’ jail and 20 strokes. He was a food deliveryman at the time and was the only one of the four who was single.

Justice Pang Khang Chau said this was “one of the most astonishing and atrocious cases of sexual assault to ever come before this court”.

The main accomplice linked to the cases is a fifth man, J, a 41-year-old man who has four children with his wife. His case is pending.

All four men — K, L, M and N — pleaded guilty last month to two charges each of conspiracy to rape, with various other charges taken into consideration.

They met their respective accomplices online as early as 2010, on forum Sammyboy and other platforms for wife-sharing fantasies.

J, who had tried to check if his wife was interested in a threesome but was rebuffed, allegedly hatched a plan to sedate his wife for other men to have sex with her.

K raped his wife in this manner, and offered his own drugged wife to J to rape.

L also raped J's wife after J had sedated her with a drug. J's children and helper were asleep as L raped J's wife, with J recording the act.

L later asked another man P to rape his wife, but P was unable to do so as he was predisposed to erectile dysfunction. P was sentenced for his involvement in January.

M met J on Sammyboy in 2010 and later expressed interest in having sex with J's wife. J drugged his wife and called M over, and M raped J's wife.

M invited his ex-wife to J's place on the guise of networking purposes. J spiked her drink before molesting and raping her.

N also met J online and would discuss his wife-sharing fantasies with J at coffee shops, even though N was single. He raped J's wife between 2017 and 2018 after J drugged her.

The prosecution had called the cases "unprecedented" and "abominable". They asked for between 19 and 23 years' jail and 24 strokes of the cane for K and M. They asked for between 11 and 16.5 years' jail for L, with another six months' jail in lieu of caning.

For N, they sought between 17 and 21 years' jail and 24 strokes of the cane.

There are a total of 7 men involved in this series of cases: J, K, L, M, N, O and P.

The cases for J and O are pending. CNA
