SINGAPORE: Former National University of Singapore law professor Tey Hsun Hang has succeeded in his appeal against his conviction and sentence.
A fine of S$514.80 -- equivalent to the value of two tailored shirts and part of the cost of a dinner -- which he was ordered to pay, will also be refunded to him.
Justice Woo Bih Li ruled that Tey's former student, Ms Darinne Koh, did not give him presents and had sexual relations with him in order to get better grades.
He also said that the trial judge had erred in equating a "morally apprehensible act" with legal wrong and set aside all six charges against the professor.
However, Justice Woo had harsh words for him.
He said that Tey was a "man without honour" who had exploited his student and that he should take a "long, hard look" at himself.
Tey has also completed a five-month jail term pending the result of the appeal. He was released in October last year.
