While under investigation for a slew of serious offences, including cheating several users on gay dating application Grindr and forging a cheque for S$1 trillion in his mother’s name, Jerald Low Jing Yong decided to make his boyfriend take the blame.
To that end, Low lied to the police for six months that the other man had coerced him into breaking the law by physically and sexually abusing him repeatedly.
His final act, which led to his remand earlier this month, was to forge a medical certificate to avoid pleading guilty in court and serving an imprisonment term.
On Wednesday (March 16), the 27-year-old was sentenced to five years and seven months’ jail, a fine of S$1,800 and a 12-month driving ban.
He admitted in a district court to 17 criminal charges, mostly of cheating and obstruction of justice. Another 35 other charges were taken into consideration for sentencing.
Prosecutors told the court that he had devised a web of lies for three years, tricking multiple victims — many of whom he met through social media and dating apps — into signing up for mobile line contracts and causing more than S$150,000 in losses.
He had even filed a notice of marriage with one victim, who suffered a relapse of her bipolar disorder and was admitted to the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) for two months after learning about his true colours.
