NSF got underage girlfriend pregnant again after getting out of jail
Published on Jan 31, 2012
He had sex with his 14-year-old girlfriend, got her pregnant and was jailed for four weeks when he could not pay his fine.
But within a month of getting out of jail, he got the same girl pregnant again. Now 16, she has two sons by him and her family is helping her raise them. The youth, now 22 and a full-time national serviceman, was sentenced to four months' jail on Monday for his second offence of having sex with a minor. He cannot be named to protect the girl's identity.
The court heard that they met in 2009, when he was 20 and she was 14. They had sex and she became pregnant. She gave birth to a baby boy in December 2010, when she was 15. He was fined $4,000 for having sex with her, and another similar charge was taken into consideration. He could not pay the fine, so he went to jail.
After he was released from prison in February last year, he contacted the girl. The court heard that they were still in a relationship then. Within that month, he took the girl to his Yishun flat when no one was home and they had sex. The girl became pregnant again and in November last year, gave birth to their second baby.
