This is not the first time Mohamed Sa'ad Ismail has been packed off to jail for sexual offences. He was convicted of rape in 1975, and in 1999, sentenced to seven years' preventive detention for outraging the modesty of a 14-year-old scout. Preventive detention, which is up to 20 years, is meant for hard core offenders with no remission for good behaviour.

Describing Sa'ad as a menace to society, Deputy Public Prosecutor Sanjiv Vaswani said in his 35 years of criminal career, Sa'ad had eight convictions. More than 25 years of these were spent behind bars and he suffered 23 strokes of the cane. He had offended yet again, some three years after being released. In the latest offences on Jan 14 and 15, he had lured the victim, who came from an unstable home environment, with money for food and LAN gaming, rides in his trishaw, and visit to a music studio. While he was lying beside the victim on those two nights, he told the victim to remove his clothes before molesting him After each occasion, he gave him $10.

Repeat molester jailed

<!-- end left side bar --> <!-- story content : start --> AFTER spending more than two decades behind bars for rape, molestation and other offences, a man is going back to prison for another 12 years for molesting a young boy. Mohamed Sa'ad Ismail, 63, was yesterday given preventive detention after the prosecutor sought a jail term of more than 10 years for the unrepentant repeat offender. The court was told the rag and bone man won the 12-year-old victim's trust by giving him money for food and local area network (LAN) gaming, rides in his trishaw as well as the opportunity to play musical instruments at a music studio. Mohamed Sa'ad allowed the boy, who comes from an unstable home environment, to stay overnight with him at the studio, sleep beside him on the carpeted floor, and even send him off in the morning.

The victim's family cannot afford to send the boy to school. Last month, Mohamed Sa'ad pleaded guilty to caressing, licking, sucking and fondling the victim at the studio in the Arab Street area on Jan 15 and 16 this year. This is three years after his release from a seven-year detention for outraging the modesty of a 14-year-old boy scout in 1999. Deputy Public Prosecutor Sanjiv Vaswani told the court earlier that Mohamed Sa'ad, who came to know the victim early last year, often gave him money to spend on food and LAN gaming.
