The court was not convinced by the case argued by Chan Kok Kit, who represented himself, and convicted him of a charge of distributing an intimate recording. The man was sentenced to 20 months' jail.
Chan, a 35-year-old Malaysian and Singapore permanent resident, has filed an appeal against the conviction and sentence.
According to a judgment made available on Wednesday, the victim testified during the trial that she was Chan's girlfriend from July to September 2022.
During this time, they had consensual sex at his home in Pasir Ris, but she later discovered Chan was married and they broke up.

About a month after they broke up, the victim was informed by a colleague that a sex video of her had been leaked online.
She searched for the video using her nickname and the area she lived in and found the clip on three websites.

Singapore ship's owners ordered to pay Sri Lanka US$1 billion over plastic spill
Sri Lanka 's top court on Thursday ordered the owners of a Singapore-flagged container ship that sank near its capital to pay US$1 billion in compensation to the island nation's government for causing the most severe marine environmental catastrophe in the country's history. Advertisement The container ship MV X-Press Pearl , which was carrying chemicals, sank off Colombo in June 2021 after catching fire. The Supreme Court said the incident caused 'unprecedented devastation to the marine environment of Sri Lanka' and harmed the country's economy, especially the lives of the fishing communities. Judges said the disaster led to the death of 417 turtles, 48 dolphins, eight whales and numerous fish species that washed ashore after the incident. Debris from the ship, including several tonnes of plastic pellets used to make plastic bags, caused severe pollution on beaches. 'This marine environmental disaster constitutes the largest recorded marine plastic spill in the world,' the judgment said. 'It resulted in the widespread release of toxic and hazardous substances into the marine environment, poisoning ocean waters, killing marine species, and destructing phytoplankton.' Due to the severe marine pollution, the government imposed a fishing ban for well over a year, depriving fishermen of their income and livelihood. Advertisement The incident 'continues to cause destruction and harm to Sri Lanka's marine environment,' said the judgement signed by five Supreme Court judges.

Malaysia says no ‘credible proof' of Jho Low living in China with fake passport
There is no 'credible proof' supporting a report that fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low , is in China or using an Australian passport, according to Malaysia's Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. Advertisement He stated that the report about Low's location and the passport he allegedly used was not backed by credible evidence or facts. 'The home ministry, through the police, is cooperating closely and continuously with our foreign counterparts and international authorities to track down Low. 'So far, the report alleging where he is and the passport he is supposedly using is not supported by credible proof. It remains only a report by the portal,' he told reporters after visiting the National Scam Response Centre on Thursday. He was commenting on a report by investigative outlet Brazen, which claimed that Low is reportedly living in China using a forged Australian passport under a Greek alias. Advertisement The publication, co-founded by former Wall Street Journal reporters Bradley Hope and Tom Wright, claims Low is living in a luxury neighbourhood in Shanghai under the name 'Constantinos Achilles Veis' on a fraudulent passport. In response to the report, Australia's Foreign Affairs and Trade Department (FATD) issued a statement warning that passport fraud is a serious offence under Australian law.

Malaysian security guard counts cost of viral knockout by MMA coach: ‘I was embarrassed'
A security guard in a block of flats in Malaysia thought he had the upper hand when he challenged a resident smaller than him, not realising the man he had picked on was a mixed martial arts (MMA) coach. Not only did Muhammad Alim Muhamad Adnizam, 24, end up having to get stitches, he had to watch his embarrassing knockout go viral. In addition, he was reassigned to another building and counted himself lucky he did not lose his job, the New Straits Times newspaper reported on Tuesday. In the video of the street brawl on July 10, Alim can be seen aggressively provoking another man, later identified as 22-year-old amateur MMA fighter Tony Lim, to a fight. 'Are you a boy or a girl? Hit me if you're a man,' he taunts Lim, even striking his own head at one point and calling Lim a pondan (transvestite). While Lim appears calm at first, Alim then starts taking off his watch and clothes – an indication that he is ready to fight. As punches are thrown, Lim acts quickly and subdues Alim in a chokehold but is told by another security guard to let Alim go. Alim picks himself up and challenges Lim to continue fighting but is knocked out in one punch, which sends him reeling against a metal pole. Lim told The Rakyat Post news portal on Thursday that the ill feelings started about two weeks before the fight, when he intervened to help an elderly resident who was being attacked by Alim.
