Two years' jail for cop who obtained sexual favours from two women


A police staff sergeant contacted a woman linked to a case involving shop theft and lied to her that her company had contacted the police about the investigation.

They met and Mahendran Selvarajoo, who worked at Clementi Police Division, drove her to a car park and told her he would help her.

He then asked her to perform a sex act on him. She complied, fearing she could lose her job.

Separately, the court heard he was the initial IO of the alleged credit card fraud case, but it was later referred to another police division. Still, he contacted the second woman on April 29 last year and asked to view her laptop when they met that evening, and saw some nude pictures of her.

He took it home and copied six folders with her personal photographs and videos to his personal portable storage device.

The pair met again shortly after midnight, and he told her that he could help her with the case. Fearing prosecution, she agreed to have sex with him while they were at a multi-storey carpark in Block 264, Serangoon Central.
