A French teenager charged after allegedly licking a straw from a vending machine and placing it back in the dispenser is set to enter a plea in a Singapore court.

On Friday, Singapore's largest English-language daily The Strait Times reported that he was expected to plead guilty.

What do we know about the straw-licking case?

The 19-year-old Didier Gaspard Owen Maximilien was not present at the district court on Friday when his lawyer said that the teen would enter a plea on July 13.

On March 12, Maximilien, a business student in Singapore, allegedly filmed himself licking a straw from an iJooz orange juice vending machine before returning it to the dispenser and posting the video on social media.
