SINGAPORE — She was a researcher at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) when she got to know a man who was pursuing his PhD there. Han Xiaobing, 34, developed feelings for the 29-year-old man but he rejected her advances. On Oct 25, 2023, he obtained a protection order against the Chinese national, prohibiting her from acts including communicating with him and entering places he frequented. Despite this, Han sent him a total of 116 e-mails until December that year and even went to his workplace. She was fined $8,000 after she pleaded guilty to two harassment charges on Aug 21. Details about the man were redacted from court documents. Han will have to spend eight weeks behind bars if she fails to fork out the amount.
