SINGAPORE: Three men pleaded guilty on Thursday (Nov 5) over an incident of group hazing when they were full-time national servicemen (NSFs) with the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
The victim, whose identity is protected by a gag order that also covers the offenders and the location of the offence, was held down while each man took turns to tap their private parts on him.
The court called for a report assessing the offenders' suitability for a community service order and adjourned the case.
