When she beat a red traffic light in 2008, a friend who was then a police officer suggested that Evangeline Tay Su Ann pay $1,000 for another woman to take the rap.
On Tuesday, Evangeline Tay Su Ann, 22, was fined $2,000 for perverting the course of justice. Tay, who is studying for a business degree at the Singapore Institute of Management, said through her lawyer that she intends to appeal against the sentence.
Both the police officer and the other woman were jailed earlier.
In Tay’s case, District Judge Jill Tan said psychiatric reports indicated there was a ‘causal link’ between her depression and the committing of the offence. As she had kept on the right side of the law since 2008 and there was little chance of her repeating the offence, the judge found that it was not necessary to impose probation or a jail term.
Tay, who is believed to have appeared in men’s magazine Maxim in 2007, had pleaded guilty late last year.
