SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): After a night of pub-crawling with a 20-year-old man he befriended only weeks earlier, a 40-year-old man agreed to let the younger man “crash”, or sleep, at his place.

But after the younger man fell asleep on the floor of his bedroom, Jeffrey Pe sexually assaulted his intoxicated friend. The victim had to push him off to get away.
