These 50 individuals are unfortunate to be caught in the snare and many of them I'm sure were not aware the girl was underaged. If they can prove ignorance, it might be a mitigating factor. But I don't think the judge will acquit just because they can prove ignorance.
Ignorance of law or even misled about age are no excuses. It's already statutory rape, whether with consent or by force, paid or free. The only chance left is deny to hell that you didn't do it and pray to heaven that she can't produce anything to prove that you did it.
By the way, under Singapore law, even if you did it to an underaged girl outside Singapore (e.g. Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand), the underaged girl can come to Singapore and lodge a police report and you'd be in deep shit if she can prove it.
