SINGAPORE - Singapore para-athlete Adam Kamis has been convicted of procuring and trying to procure women for prostitution, and for recruiting a child for sexual exploitation.

The 37-year-old para-athlete, better known as the "one-armed runner", pleaded guilty in court today (June 20) to 11 charges under the Women's charter and one charge under the Prevention of Human Trafficking Act. He was facing 34 charges, The Straits Times reported.

Adam set up social-escort company SG Freelancers in 2013, Lianhe Wanbao reported. He then went online under the monicker of "Angel Tan" to recruit women to work for him.

"Angel", supposedly an escort in the company, would send messages to women on social media platforms like Facebook, inviting them to join her.

When interested women replied to his messages, which advertised a part-time job that can earn $1,000, he would then explain the nature of the "job", including provision of sexual services.

Adam would invite women who applied for the job to an interview at his home. He would choose times when his wife was not at home, Shin Min Daily said.

During the interview, he would ask to "verify the goods" by asking the women to strip. As a "test", the women would then be asked to provide him with the services that they had indicated they were comfortable with in a questionaire.

Police investigation revealed the identity of 34 women who applied for the "job", aged 16 to 38, Wanbao said. The women came from all walks of life, including a 23-year-old pre-school teacher, 38-year-old dental clinic assistant, a 24-year-old beauty consultant and a 34-year-old accountant.

Adam lost his right arm in a traffic accident in 2003; his left arm was also paralysed. He started training in running at a doctor's advice and went on to represent Singapore in sporting events.

One-armed runner Adam Kamis jailed 38 months for vice offences

HIS stirring story of overcoming personal adversity was once an inspiration to others.

But yesterday marked the beginning of a dark chapter as national para-athlete Adam Kamis was jailed 38 months for vice-related offences and recruiting a child for sexual exploitation.

The 37-year-old motivational speaker, better known as the "one-armed runner", was convicted last week of 11 charges under the Women's Charter and one under the Prevention of Human Trafficking Act. Another 22 charges were considered during his sentencing.

Adam, who lost his right arm and had his left arm paralysed in a motorcycle accident in 2003, represented Singapore in the Commonwealth Games at Delhi in 2010.

Early in 2013, struggling under debt, he set up an escort agency, SG Freelancers.

Using the moniker Angel Tan, he recruited women over Facebook by offering them well-paying freelance jobs.

The women were asked to accompany male clients, chat with them and provide them "physical relief/release'' through protected sex.

Potential employees were asked to fill up a questionnaire and e-mail it to him, along with their photographs.

He then invited the women to his Yishun home, examined their bodies and had sex with them on the pretext of "testing" them.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Sharmila Sripathy-Shanaz said Adam would introduce himself as a handler for SG Freelancers and brief the women on what was expected of them.

While he would not receive a commission for the first client, he expected a 5 per cent to 50 per cent commission for subsequent clients. He would create an online profile for the women on Craigslist and Locanto to advertise their services.

District Judge Lim Keng Yeow imposed nine-month jail sentences on each charge Adam faced, of either procuring or attempting to procure a woman for prostitution.

For recruiting a 16-year-old for exploitation, he was given 20 months' jail, which will run consecutively with two of the nine-month jail terms.

The maximum punishment for the Women's Charter offence is five years' jail and a $10,000 fine each.

Sexual exploitation can result in 10 years' jail and up to six strokes of the cane.
