The court erroneously cites ‘Hamelot’ Ellis as the source of the passage quoted. In fact the quote comes from the work of Ellis Havelock , Psychology of Sex (1933). The same passage was cited by an Indian court in Lohana Vasantal Devehand and Ors v State above n 13. It is difficult to speculate as to why the Singapore Court of Appeal chose to rely on such antiquated scientific material.
