Zebedee Rex Fernando allegedly molested a 12-year-old girl in 2004.
SINGAPORE – A man linked to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore is facing a molestation charge after he allegedly outraged the modesty of a 12-year-old girl.
The Straits Times understands that he was not involved with the archdiocese at the time of the alleged offence. In November 2022, the Chancery of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore stated in its notice that Fernando had been appointed to the Board of the Archdiocesan Commission for Tamil-Speaking as its treasurer for a two-year term.
“Given the serious nature of the charge, Mr Rex Fernando has been suspended from his employment until this matter is concluded,” said a spokesperson.
