JAKARTA - This police officer was forced to spend 20 days in prison. He is unprofessional because he is possessive when investigating a girl who is trying to commit suicide.

This incident occurred in September 2017. Just then Leow Jin Jie came to the house of a 19 year old girl who had tried to commit suicide.

The identified victim had a history of mental health problems and was diagnosed with major depressive disorder with borderline personality traits. Meanwhile, Leow Jin Jie is a senior police officer, working in the Singapore Police Force (SPF) since 2009 and being an investigative officer.

When he arrived, Leow was tasked with recording the victim's statement. He asked the victim's parents to leave so he could take his own statement.

The victim was asked to sit next to him. After taking his statement, he asked to exchange phone numbers.

The next morning, he started messaging the victim via WhatsApp. Leow Jin Jie initially asked about his health and encouraged him to eat properly and drink tonics.

But within 45 minutes, her messages started leading up to asking when she was going to meet a guy friend and what time she went to bed. He also offered to stop by her house with the things she needed.

"Leow knew he was only supposed to talk to him about matters relating to the investigation, and that his interactions with him after he recorded his statements were inappropriate," Deputy Public Prosecutor Yvonne Poon said.

The victim began to feel harassed when Leow texted her, "Don't be naughty. You haven't eaten yet, please eat. Don't make me angry."

"He felt harassed because he was always checking on her, bullied because he said he would get mad, and also felt like he was trying to control it by saying 'nice girl,'" Ms Poon said.

Leow's messages to the victim continued every day until October 4, 2017. The messages ranged from asking if the victim had arrived home to praising her beauty.

Leow also once sent a message to the victim not to have sex. Leow also repeatedly asked victims to move their conversations to Snapchat because the messages would be deleted automatically.

What's worse, when the victim was being taken to the hospital for an examination, Leow launched another attack. Leow, asked the victim to tell where he was being treated.

Leow then told him he could check his ward number if he wanted, but he held back out of respect.

Later, Leow was in the hospital to investigate a separate matter. He sent the victim a photo of the car park and asked again which ward he was in.

"At all times this defendant was a police officer who should have carried out his duties without fear or assistance," Poon said.

Leow admits all wrong. He argued that he had marital problems and wanted to test whether he still had lust with women.
