Men charged as underage prostitution scandal grips Singapore បុរស៤៨នាក់ ជាប់ចោទពីសិចជាមួយ សិស្សក្រោមអាយុ ១៨ឆ្នាំ
Although prostitution is legal in Singapore, solicitation and sex with minors are not. Furthermore, having paid sex with a minor is a strict liability offence in Singapore; arguments that the men did not know she was underage are irrelevant. Those convicted could be sentenced to up to 7 years’ imprisonment, as well as fined. The names of the men were published in the media, but the identity of the underage prostitute in question has been kept from the press. Still, that hasn’t stopped people from circulating photographs of the girl – or at least, who they think is the girl – online.
The men allegedly paid USD360 to USD680 per session with the girl, who had advertised her services on a website that has since been closed. Lawyer Subhas Anandan, who is representing 10 of the men, called the girl a “hardcore prostitute”, saying that his clients are the victims in this case.
