SINGAPORE — A 41-year-old expatriate who attacked and confined a woman in his Farrer Road condominium unit was jailed for seven weeks and fined S$5,400 on Tuesday (Oct 5).
Mitch Vanhille, a Belgian based in Singapore, contested all the charges in a trial that began in January last year. He was accused of committing the offences from May 16 to Nov 21 in 2018.
He was found guilty last month of seven counts of voluntarily causing hurt, two counts of wrongful confinement, and one of using criminal force on the victim, but acquitted of one charge each of assault and molestation.
Vanhille, a former regional director with sports brand Nike and who has competed in Ironman fitness competitions, did not deny most of the physical acts but gave various defences such as not deliberately aiming a remote control at her that struck her lip.
