Didier Gaspard Owen Maximilien, a 19-year-old French student, pleaded guilty to a public nuisance charge in Singapore and was fined 600 Singapore dollars, equivalent to 465 US dollars. The charge stemmed from an act in March at a shopping mall where he licked a straw from an orange juice vending machine, replaced it, and filmed the act for social media. Prosecutors had sought a higher fine of 2,000 Singapore dollars, and a mischief charge was considered during sentencing on July 30, 2026.
