Infatuated with a prison officer whom he met while incarcerated, Jee Chai Chai resorted to stalking her by creating Facebook accounts to send her direct messages and calling the Singapore Prison Service hotline to get her number, among other methods.

The 28-year-old Singaporean pleaded guilty on Thursday to one charge under the Protection from Harassment Act and another charge of committing an obscene act in a public place after he stood naked in front of a woman to pleasure himself.

Three other similar charges of committing an obscene act in a public place will be taken into consideration during sentencing.

Sentencing was pushed back to July 21 as both the prosecution and defence are seeking clarification on a psychological report by the Institute of Mental Health on Jee. A gag order has been issued to protect the victims’ identities.
