The prosecution will proceed with all six charges against Tey.
Forty-one-year-old Tey faces six charges of having corruptly obtained gifts and sex from Darinne Ko Wen Hui, who's now 23, in exchange for better grades.

Sex-for-grades NUS prof wants to argue own case
Sex-for-grades NUS prof wants to argue own case

SINGAPORE: The law professor on trial for corruption in a sex-for-grades case will represent himself in his own defence.
The unexpected twist came after Tey Tsun Hang asked the court to allow him to be co-counsel, alongside his lawyer, Mr Peter Low.
But Chief District Judge Tan Siong Thye rejected this request.
Instead, he allowed Mr Low to assist Tey in his trial but not conduct the cross-examinations.
Tey then asked the judge to allow him to conduct the trial out of the dock.
Prosecution objected to the request, saying whether or not Tey conducts his own trial, he's still an accused person.
