SINGAPORE: A man who raped a stranger's blindfolded girlfriend on two occasions, playing into the stranger's threesome "deviant fantasies", was sentenced on Friday (Aug 14) to 17 years and 10 months' jail and 14 strokes of the cane.

Srihari Mahendran, 24, had been found guilty in June of four counts of rape, one count of sexual assault, four counts of outrage of modesty and one count of making an obscene film. An 11th charge of transmitting an obscene object via electronic means was taken into consideration.
