SINGAPORE: A 16-year-old boy who made his schoolmates have anal sex with him will be put on probation for 36 months and perform 120 hours of community service.
The teenager, who was 14 years old when he committed the offences, has an IQ of 84.
This puts him at the low end of the average range of intelligence.
His two mildly retarded victims were 14 and 15 years old when he had sex with them.
The Court Today heard that the boy must now be accompanied by his parents whenever he is in contact with "males who are intellectually challenged".
He must attend an "offence specific treatment programme".
His parents and aunt also have to pay a bond of $5,000 to ensure his good behaviour.
The Court heard that the teenager decided to have sexual contact with his victims after he encountered pornographic gay websites on the Internet.
He approached his first victim who agreed to have sex with him after the teenager threatened to sever their friendship if he turned down the request.
The two teenagers then had sex at a multi-storey carpark at Block 603A Senja Road in the Bukit Panjang area in March 2008.
The teenager had a similar sexual encounter with the other boy at a different multi-storey carpark at Block 185A Jelebu Road located in the same neighbourhood in October that year.
The Court was told that his second victim continued having sex with him out of fear that the teenager might spread rumours about him.
The crimes only came to light when the second victim told his own mother about his ordeal.
The boy's mother told the school and staff members then informed the police about it.
Speaking to reporters after the hearing, the offender's parents said that their son is now banned from using the Internet.
They will also work together with his aunt to take him home from school every day.
For his offences, the teenager could have been sentenced to up to 10 years' jail, fined, or both. - CNA/jm
