19岁的法国学生迪迪埃·加斯帕德·欧文·马克西米利安因在新加坡一家购物商场对果汁售卖机吸管进行舌舔恶作剧并将其放回机器内而被法院判罚有罪[1]。这一为社交媒体制造的噱头发生于3月，视频随后传播，导致他在4月被控[1]。法院最终判处其罚款600新加坡元（约合465美元）[1]。
检察机关曾要求对被告处以最高罚款2000新加坡元（约合1551美元）[1]。法官在考虑了多项从轻情节后作出了较轻的判罚决定，这些情节包括被告的年轻身份、自愿认罪、及时认罪态度、事件中没有他人实际使用过相关吸管，以及没有证据表明造成伤害[1]。法院最终未对被告判处社区劳动，仅以罚款作为处罚[1]。该事件导致约500根吸管被更换[1]。
A 19-year-old French student, Didier Gaspard Owen Maximilien, pleaded guilty to a public nuisance charge after licking straws in a juice vending machine at a shopping mall in Singapore and returning them for a social media stunt [1]. The incident occurred in March, and the student was charged in April after the video circulated online [1].
The court imposed a fine of 600 Singapore dollars, approximately 465 US dollars, rejecting the prosecution's request for a maximum penalty of 2,000 Singapore dollars [1]. The judge opted against imposing community service, citing mitigating factors including the defendant's youth, voluntary admission of guilt, timely plea, the fact that no one actually used the contaminated straws, and the absence of any documented harm [1]. The prank resulted in approximately 500 straws being replaced [1].
