An Indonesian national who was among the 44 men charged on Monday with having paid sex with a minor was on Thursday given the nod to leave the country for his wedding in Indonesia.

The lawyer for Reyner Desvando Suhartono, 28, told the court that arrangements for the June nuptials had been made last November, before he was called up by the police.

Mr Edmond Pereira, applying for his client to fly to Indonesia from Friday until April 29, and again from May 16 to June 6, submitted documentary evidence of the wedding to be held in Jakarta.

He argued that Suhartono was not a flight risk, given that he owns a property in Telok Kurau with his father and is the sole director and shareholder of a trading company set up in 2008.

Mr Pereira added that, other than a trip home between Feb 20 and 26, his client has been here, helping the police in their investigations.

The wedding preparations had been suspended as a result of this.

The lawyer said his client had surrendered his passport to the police following his trip to Jakarta in late February.

On Sept 24, 2010, Suhartono is said to have paid the girl, then under 18, $450 for sex with her in what used to be his rented flat in Cambridge Road.

The charge against him was amended to include the name of the prostitute and tendered by the prosecution yesterday.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Andrew Tan, objecting to Suhartono's application to leave Singapore, noted that the Indonesian had little familial ties here, and that his stake in a relatively young company here was a small one.

But District Judge Lim Tse Haw said he was prepared to give Suhartono leave to go, upon considering his conduct during the investigation, in particular the fact that he had left for Indonesia and returned.

The judge, however, ordered an additional $20,000 to be posted on top of the current police bail of $10,000, which was extended.

Suhartono is required to give the investigation officer his travel itinerary and overseas contact details before his trips home, and to surrender his passport to the officer within 24 hours of each return.

If convicted of having commercial sex with a person under 18, he can be jailed for up to seven years, fined, or jailed and fined.

All you have to do is sit quietly in the canteen or in a toilet booth with your Ipad. Nobody in his right mind will accord special privileges for such a high profile especially after Teo Chee Hian refused to cover the 2 superscale officers and heads of Department.

Photographers cannot snap inside the Court Building.

Most people are not aware the photographers are waiting outside while some come prepared with bags, caps etc.

Underage sex scandal: 3 men back in court today

SINGAPORE - Three men who were earlier charged for having paid sex with an underage girl returned to court today with their lawyers.

Pyi Kyaw Han, 31, Koh Zi Yang, 29 and Kelvin Peck Yong Li, 21, who were unrepresented in court last Monday, were given a week to seek legal advice.

The prosecution tendered amended charges today which now name the girl the three paid for sex with.

Her name was initially omitted from charge sheets to protect her identity when the case was first mentioned in court, but appeared in charge sheets for the four men charged later.

The prosecution applied and has been granted a court order to protect her identity.

The men claimed trial to the charges and their cases have been scheduled for a discovery conference on June 11.

Pyi, who faces two charges, is represented by Mr James Sebastian, while Koh and Peck, who each face one charge, are represented by Mr Peter Ong and Mr Anand Nalachandran respectively.

Koh allegedly paid $600 for sex with the girl at Strand Hotel on December 23, 2010 while Peck is said to have paid $450 for sex with the girl at Hotel 81 Bencoolen on October 7, 2010.

Pyi faces two charges of paying $650 for the girl's sexual services at Strand Hotel on December 21, 2010 and January 21, 2011.

If found guilty, the 48 men charged so far could be jailed for up to seven years, fined, or both.

14 men still being investigated for paid sex with underage girl

AsiaOne
Wednesday, Apr 25, 2012

The latest batch of men being investigated for paying an underage girl for sex includes both Singaporeans and foreigners.

The Straits Times reported that 14 men are still under probe. Some of the foreigners involved may no longer be in the country.

While initial reports said 80 men were involved in the case, sources told The Straits Times the final number charged may be lower than 62.

It is believed that the latest batch of men do not include high-profile individuals, unlike the 48 who were charged earlier, which included educators, civil servants, military officers and the grandson of a cinema operator.

Some among the latest batch being investigated may face similar charges, and they may be the final group of men appearing in court in connection with this case.

The alleged pimp, Tang Boon Thiew, 39, is expected to face more charges.

Tang was charged in court last November with 35 counts of prostitution-related offences, believed to have been committed between October 2009 and last November. These include 34 counts under the Women's Charter for living off the earnings of a prostitute, and one count of paid sex with a minor, believed to be the same girl.

Based on the charge sheets, at least 15 prostitutes between 18 and 47 years old had allegedly worked for him.

Tang reportedly went into the social escort business after learning from another pimp how profitable the business was.

Tang has not been seen in public since his name was linked to the case. The Straits Times said he is hiding at his home in the western part of Singapore.

Paid sex with a minor carries a jail term of up to seven years and a possible fine.

Ex-teacher returns to court in suit, with lawyer

AsiaOne
Thursday, Apr 26, 2012

The former River Valley High School teacher charged for sex with a minor appeared in court dressed in a suit.

This was a stark contrast to Chua Ren Cheng's first appearance at the Subordinate Courts, where he dashed out of the building in a hoodie, cap, sunglasses and a mask to avoid the media.

His lawyer asked for an adjournment and was granted one.

Chua will return to court on June 11 for a discovery conference where the prosecution and defence teams will exchange information about the case.

Chua initially said he would plead guilty, but it is uncertain if he will still do so. He allegedly paid $750 for sex with the girl between 4.30pm and 5.30pm on Dec 22, 2010 at the Strand Hotel.

He is among 48 men charged with having paid sex with an underage prostitute.

Chua Ren Cheng, 31, an ex-River Valley High School teacher who is one of the 48 men charged with having commercial sex with an underage prostitute, left the Subordinate Courts yesterday in a smart business suit.

He smiled confidently for the cameras yesterday, a far cry from his previous court appearance on April 18.

Chua had attempted to prevent his face from being photographed by wearing a hoodie, cap, surgical mask and a pair of sunglasses.

He did not have a lawyer in that first court appearance on April 18, but he was represented in court yesterday. His lawyer asked for an adjounment of six weeks.

In this picture taken on April 18, Chua is seen surrounded by reporters as he left the Subordinate Courts. He had allegedly paid the underage prostitute $750 for sexual services in Dec 2010.

Underage sex scandal: Former principal given 9-week jail sentence

AsiaOne
Friday, Apr 27, 2012

The former principal of Pei Chun Public School Lee Lip Hong has been given a nine-week jail sentence for paying for sex with an underage girl.

Lee, 39, who pleaded guilty in court today, said he was fully ashamed of his actions. He said it has caused much harm and pain to his family, especially his wife, reported a local news outlet.

One of the first to plead guilty, he admitted to one of two charges of having paid for sex with the girl, 17, for $500 at Hotel 81 Bencoolen on Sept 26, 2010. His other charge was considered for sentencing.

He reportedly broke down in court as his lawyer pleaded for leniency.

His lawyer, Melanie Ho, told the court that Lee was misled about the girl's age. He had availed of her services from the online vice website run by the girl's pimp, Tang Boon Thiew.

The Straits Times reported that on September 26, he sent Tang an SMS to ask if the girl was available. After agreeing to the details set forth by the pimp, Lee booked a room at Hotel 81 and had sex with the girl between 7 to 8pm. He paid her $500, which includes a $50 tip.

Ms Ho said that while the girl's age was advertised as 18 years old on the website, Lee was told by Tang that she was 19 years old when they met. He was said to have had no reason to doubt this due to her appearance and behaviour.

She said he was remorseful, understanding that he had made a serious mistake.

Lee said that his personal lack of control of his own moral standards, coupled with being unable to resist temptation, led to his mistake.

His lawyer had pleaded for a fine to be imposed.

Lee could have been fined and/or jailed for up to seven years.
