Central to the statement was the team's concern about specific details being discussed online that bear no relation to the actual proceedings before the court.

The management singled out references to "drink spiking" as one such narrative gaining traction publicly.

"We are particularly concerned by the volume of unverified narratives currently circulating, including claims referencing 'drink spiking,' amongst other allegations which do not form part of any of the allegations or charges before the court," the statement read.

The team cautioned that introducing details outside the scope of the actual case risks creating prejudice and fuelling misinformation that could unfairly affect all parties involved in the proceedings.

Poco Lee's management calls for fair hearing

Beyond correcting the record on specific claims, the management used the statement to remind the public of the principle of fair hearing.

The team stressed that the outcome of Poco Lee's case must be left to the legal process rather than shaped by social media debate.

"Every individual is entitled to a fair hearing and to have their matter determined by due process of law, not by public opinion," the statement said.

The team further appealed for restraint in how the matter is discussed publicly, reinforcing that no verdict should be assumed while the case remains before the court.

"Allegations are not evidence of guilt, and no conclusions should be drawn until the matter has been heard and determined through the appropriate legal process," it added.

The management confirmed it would issue further updates through Poco Lee's official channels when it is appropriate to do so, and expressed gratitude to those exercising understanding during the period.
