根据最新的法庭聆讯,原先被判缓刑21个月的23岁国大生被告萧凯运(译音),国家法院法官Jasvender Kaur 批准控方申请,暂停他的缓刑判决,待高等法院审理控方上诉。

涉及在地铁站和车厢内三度非礼女性大腿和臀部,日前法庭基于被告成绩良好,仅被判缓刑。但有关判决似乎引起大众不满,并发起网络联署运动,迄今已累积7万6千余个签名

至于内政暨律政部长尚穆根日前在脸书发文指出,自己也对判决“感到惊讶”,并表示检察署考虑上诉。

在今日的聆讯中,检控官坚称萧凯运已犯下严重罪行,暂停缓刑是为了确保公义;但辩护律师仍坚持,缓刑旨在协助后者改过。

萧凯运涉及在去年9月12日晚上三度非礼一名女子,随后警方接获投报,迅速将被告逮捕归案。

控方之前要求法官判被告入狱六周,即一个月半,但是法官基于被告成绩良好,因此判他缓刑监视21个月,必须自晚上11时至隔日早上6时都待在家中,而且还要执行150个小时的社区服务,并且结束治疗。

为了确保被告在缓刑期间能够表现良好,法官也要求被告父母签保5000元。
