Music producer and former Singapore Idol judge Ken Lim, 61, was sentenced to 13 months in jail on November 18 for molesting a 25-year-old woman.
The incident took place at Hype Records’ Henderson Road office on November 23, 2021, while Lim was serving as the company’s executive director. Following a trial, Principal District Judge Lee Lit Cheng convicted Lim of the molestation charge in September.
Details of the victim have been withheld under a gag order. Court proceedings revealed that the molestation occurred during a work-related interview at Lim’s office. The victim testified that she met Lim three times, during which he made suggestive remarks at their second and third meetings. She also alleged that Lim asked if she would perform sexual acts on a director or engage in sex with someone “to bring about change.”
The case has drawn widespread attention due to Lim’s high-profile career in the music industry.
