SINGAPORE — Four men aged between 28 and 46 were on Wednesday (July 28) hauled to court and charged over their alleged roles in a sex-themed chat group on messaging application Telegram.
They were each charged with multiple counts of possessing obscene films and transmitting obscene materials through the group, the police said in a statement on Wednesday.
The material contained leaked sexual videos and images of women, including nude photos, those of women dressed scantily or in compromising positions, and videos of sexual acts that were exploitative of the women because they circulated the materials in the group without their consent, the police added.
On Oct 24, 2019, the authorities received a report against the group and arrested the four men on Nov 6 that year.
Three of them were allegedly administrators of the group, the police added, while the fourth purportedly advertised the sale of obscene materials.
Thousands of video files and pictures were found in their electronic devices.
After extensive investigations into the materials, the police consulted the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) on the matter.
AGC concurred in mid-July this year to charge the men. All but one of them are Singaporeans.
They are:
Wong Ming Jun, 28
Wong faces the highest number of charges, including five of possessing obscene videos under the Films Act.
