Two more plead guilty in online vice ring case

By Alvina Soh | Posted: 22 August 2012 1323 hrs

SINGAPORE: Two more men pleaded guilty on Wednesday to paying for sex with an underage girl in the high-profile online vice ring scandal.

39-year-old former police superintendent Tan Wee Kiat and 37-year-old portfolio manager Ng Guan Mean are part of the group of 51 men implicated in the case.

The duo, who are both represented by Mr Luke Lee, came across the girl's services online and contacted her pimp Tan Boon Thiew.

Tan paid the girl S$600 for sex at Hotel 81 Bencoolen in December 2010.

The girl was seventeen years old then.

Under Singapore law, it is illegal to have paid sex with a girl below 18 years of age.

In mitigation, Mr Lee said that Tan was "facing stress from his work and personal life".

The court also heard that Tan was suffering from an adjustment disorder when he committed the offence.

In addition, Mr Lee urged the court to take into consideration Tan's "long years of public service" as a police superintendent.

He also pushed for a probation instead of a jail term.

In response, the prosecution argued that a probation was "inappropriate" as the offence was not a "rehabilitative one".

Similarly, Ng paid the under-age girl S$450 for sex at M Hotel at Anson Road in October 2010.

The court heard that Ng asked the girl for her age before they had sex, and was told that she was 19 years old.

But Ng stopped short of verifying her age through identification documents.

Tan will be sentenced on August 27 and Ng will be sentenced on November 2.

Former principal of Pei Chun Public School Lee Lip Hong was sentenced to nine weeks' jail for a similar offence with the same underage girl.

The 39-year-old was released from Changi Prison in June after serving six weeks' jail. The early remission was because of his good behaviour.

On July 30, former executive director of the Singapore Environment Council Howard Shaw was jailed three months for having paid sex with an underage girl. Shaw is now out on bail of S$10,000 pending appeal.

Ex-police superintendent jailed twelve weeks for having paid sex with underage prostitute

Posted by temasektimes on August 27, 2012

Former police superintendent Tan Wee Kiat (old name: Jarrod Song Eu Loong) has been jailed 12 weeks on Monday for having sex with an underage prostitute.

The 39 year old who was in the police force for 14 years, was one of the 48 men charged for having paid sex with the same girl whose identity is kept confidential though she is already 19 years of age.

The court learnt that Tan saw the girl’s services online and contacted her pimp Tan Boon Thiew who then arranged the meeting for him. He paid the girl S$600 for sex at Hotel 81 Bencoolen in December 2010. The girl was seventeen years old then.

In his sentencing, District Judge Chay Yuen Fatt said that Tan, who did not verify the girl’s age, “should have known better.”

Under Singapore law, it is illegal to have paid sex with a girl below 18 years of age.

Tan is the third man to be sentenced after former principal of Pei Chun Public School Lee Lip Hong who had served a six week jail sentence and former executive director of the Singapore Environment Council Howard Shaw who was jailed three months for having paid sex with an underage girl. Shaw is now out on bail of S$10,000 pending an appeal.

He then paid her S$450 for sex at Hotel 81 Bencoolen in September 2010. The girl was 17 years old at the time.

The court also heard that Lee had asked the girl her age and she had told him she was 19 years old. He did not ask to see her identification.

Man gets 12 weeks' jail in online vice ring case

By Kimberly Spykerman | Posted: 31 August 2012 1411 hrs

SINGAPORE: A fifth man was sentenced on Friday after pleading guilty to having paid sex with an underage girl in a high-profile online vice ring case.

35-year-old Tan Kok Wee, a former Singapore Armed Forces personnel, was sentenced to 12 weeks' jail for having paid sex with the girl, who was 17 years old at the time.

The court heard that Tan had come across her services online and contacted her pimp Tan Boon Thiew on October 22, 2010. Tan then met the girl at Hotel 81 Bencoolen on October 23, 2010, where he paid her S$500 for sex.

He did not ask to see her identification.

Under Singapore law, it is an offence to have paid sex with a girl below 18 years of age.

Tan is one of 51 men implicated in the online vice ring case. He is a first-time offender and will start serving his sentence on Friday.

The prosecution called for Tan's sentence to be in line with three other men who have already received similar sentences for the same offence, as the facts of the case are similar.

Ex-police officer Tan Wee Kiat, product manager Chiang Meng Chuan, and former executive director of the Singapore Environment Council Howard Shaw, were all sentenced to 12 weeks' jail.

Shaw is out on a S$10,000 bail pending appeal.

The prosecution added that Tan did not have comparable mitigating factors as former principal of Pei Chun Public School Lee Lip Hong, who was jailed nine weeks for a similar offence with the same underage girl.

Lee, who the prosecution said had a strong record of service in education sector, was released from Changi Prison in June after six weeks. The early remission was because of good behaviour.

Earlier on Friday morning, engineer Lee Tian Song, 33, pleaded guilty to paying the same girl S$450 for sex at Hotel 81 Bencoolen in September 2010.

He will be sentenced on October 2.

Indonesian businessman jailed for having sex with underage prostitute

By Sharon See | Posted: 28 September 2012 1204 hrs

wilson28e.jpg


SINGAPORE: Wilson Oei, 26, has been sentenced to nine weeks' jail for having sex with an underage prostitute.

He is the eighth man to be convicted in a high profile online vice ring case that has implicated 51 men.

In his mitigation, Oei's lawyer Chen Chee Yen said Oei's age gap with the 17-year-old prostitute was relatively narrow when the offence was committed on 26 September 2010.

Senior District Judge See Kee Oon said a large age disparity could be an aggravating factor, so the age disparity is relevant to the case overall.

But he said the age gap is not so narrow in this case to warrant a discount in sentencing.

The judge said while it was a honest mistake for Oei, he had made no inquiry at all about the girl's age and did not exercise any vigilance.

But he noted that Oei is remorseful about his mistake as shown by his early pleading of guilt.

Oei paid the girl between S$450 and S$500 for sex at Hotel 81 Bencoolen.

Can learned bros here help me understand what SDJ See Kee Oon said? Large age disparity could be an aggravating facor?

If a rape victim is an SYT, accused to kena deterrent sentence? If Ah Ma victim, less jail time?

You probably know this already, but I think this is only relevant in underage cases and more relevant to the age of the man and not the girl.
That means as u get older, stay further away from the syts. :o

Imo, what should be more relevant is what steps the guy took to check if the girl was underage and whether he was deceived or whether he knew and went ahead anyway. Shouldn't matter what age the guy was. Hence an 80 year old who was told by the pimp and the whore that she was not underage, shouldn't get a heavier punishment than the 25 year old who never asked but just did it.

Howard Shaw starts 12-week jail term

By Kimberly Spykerman | Posted: 05 October 2012 1311 hrs

SINGAPORE: Former executive director of the Singapore Environment Council, Howard Shaw, said he respects what the law has handed down to him, as he started serving his 12-week jail term on Friday.

He made the statement in response to questions from the media when he arrived at the Subordinate Courts at about 11.20am with his wife, Jessie Xue.

Dressed in a white shirt and dark-coloured pants, Shaw told reporters that he was feeling nervous and had not slept very well overnight.

The grandson of the Shaw Organisation's founder was sentenced on July 30 this year for having paid sex with an underage girl.

He was among 51 men implicated in the high-profile online vice ring case involving the girl, who was then 17 years old.

Shaw, 41, had appealed against his sentence but recently withdrew the appeal.

When asked why he withdrew the appeal, Shaw replied: "I respect what the law has handed out to me, and I will serve my time." He added that the decision to withdraw the appeal was entirely his own.

In court, Shaw and Xue sat together quietly in the public gallery of the empty courtroom.

The pair exchanged a hug before officers took Shaw into custody at about 11.30am. His wife handed him a container wrapped in plastic, together with an envelope.

She declined to speak to reporters who approached her.

Eleven men have been sentenced so far in the online vice ring scandal.

The maximum punishment for the offence is seven years' jail and a fine.

I am hopeful that the envelope contains a lawyer letter for divorce. This lowlife is going to prison for the second time after committing crimes against the state on numerous occasions. He is a recalcitrant criminal! If he divorces then it will be second time. He can easily find a third wife after he serves his jail sentence. I hope the second wife whack him jialat jialat! He seems to have a fetish for young birds. She should know that her sell by date is reaching expiry soon.

Father of 3 jailed for sex with underage girl

By Claire Huang | Posted: 04 March 2013 1229 hrs

SINGAPORE: A man nabbed in a high-profile online vice ring crackdown last year has been sentenced to eight weeks' jail.

Kenny Sim Choon Wee, 39, admitted to having paid sex with a 17-year-old teenager in October 2010 at Hotel 81 in Bencoolen Street.

He was one of 50 men implicated in the online vice ring case.

In his mitigation, his lawyer said the girl, who cannot be named, had deceived the men.

Mr Anand Nalachandran pointed out that Sim was genuinely mistaken and did not seek the services of an underage prostitute.

He added that Sim, who has three children, suffered from cerebral palsy and now has limb spasticity.

Mr Anand urged the court to give a substantial fine instead of a jail term.

But the prosecution argued that the onus was on Sim to verify the age of the girl and that he failed to do so.

It added that the law expected Sim to have exercised due diligence, but he allowed himself to be misled by the representation of the minor on the website.

It asked for a jail term of at least 12 weeks.

But the judge took into account Sim's medical condition and sentenced him to eight weeks' jail instead.

It's understood that Sim is appealing against the sentence.
