Music producer Ken Lim's defence lawyers called upon their final two witnesses on Sept 4, in the ongoing trial against him allegedly making sexual statements to a then 26year-old woman.
Singer-songwriter Corrinne May and former Nominated Member of Parliament Gerard Ee both appeared in the State Courts to testify on day 13 of the trial.
The trial revolves around an allegation that Lim, 60, had insulted the modesty of the woman in 2012.
The former Singapore Idol judge's legal team, led by Senior Counsel Tan Chee Meng, showed Ms May the woman's testimony in which she said she told Lim she loved and looked up to Corrinne May.
The pair first met at the Hype Records office in Henderson Road on July 19, 2012. Lim was the company's executive director at the time.
They met again six days later. The woman claims that it was at this second meeting where he asked if she was a virgin, and posed the question: "What if I have sex with you right now?" at his office.
In her testimony, the woman alleged that Lim had said Ms May was not a successful musician and that she was only a kindergarten teacher, adding that only churchgoers listened to her music.
