Dangerous sex offenders who remain a threat to public could stay in jail despite finishing sentence






Dangerous sex offenders could stay in jail after serving their sentence if they remain a threat to the public, said Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam in Parliament on Tuesday (Apr 5), adding that "there will be no automatic release" for these offenders.

He was responding to a question from MP Joan Pereira (PAP-Tanjong Pagar), who had asked about safeguards to protect members of the public, particularly children and women, from recalcitrant sex offenders.

"I have asked the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Ministry of Law (MinLaw) to study a new sentencing option, quite a novel approach, to give more protection to the public from dangerous first-time offenders as well as repeat offenders who commit very serious hurt and sexual offences," Mr Shanmugam said.

"The proposal is not quite fleshed out yet ... The outline is that offenders will have to serve the minimum jail sentence, which could be anywhere between five to 20 years. But when the jail sentences end, when they have completed it, there will be no automatic release.

"At the point of release, they have to be assessed as to whether they pose a threat to the public. If they are assessed to continue to pose a threat, they will continue to be detained."

The proposal comes after MHA and MinLaw had earlier conducted a public consultation on introducing an Enhanced Detention for Public Protection regime to improve its legislative levers in dealing with serious violent or sexual offenders.
