The businessman who pleaded guilty to 20 vice related charges earlier this month, was sentenced to 58 months jail and $90,000 fine on Friday.
Tang Boon Thiew, 39, had recruited more than a dozen escorts for his online vice ring - including an underage girl whose 51 clients made headlines last year.
The 20 charges he face include living off the earnings of prostitution, procuring women for prostitution, and abetting clients to obtain the commercial sexual services of a minor.
Tang, who ran a company dealing with digital- media advertising, made about $185,000 in two years through 17 women.
