She was a student aged 14. He was 38, married, and her teacher. But that did not stop him from seducing the girl after wooing her with gifts on a school trip to South Korea.
First, he told her she was pretty, and lied that his relationship with his wife was on the rocks. Then, after they returned to Singapore, he had sex with her regularly in the school's co-curricular activities room and in his car.
All this time, his wife believed he was giving 'private tuition'. In fact, he was seeing both the student and a 16-year-old who had left the school and was over the age of consent. On Friday, the teacher, now 41, pleaded guilty to having sex with a minor.
Other teachers behaving badly

•In June this year, a 25-year-old former school teacher was sentenced to 10 months' jail for having sex with his 15-year-old student at her home.

•In 2009, a 32-year-old former Chinese and civics and moral education teacher was jailed for 10 months. The mother of two had engaged in sex acts with her 15-year-old student six times in chalets and in her flat.
