Principal of top school under investigation for hiring prost

Sex with a minor below 16 is illegal regardless whether there is consent. If 16 and 7 months before 17 how??

[znzyzyzx]

This post made me cheer up a bit, otherwise feel very uncomfortable with the way the world is out there now. At least there are still like minded people around. And i have four kids to worry for.

toddles:

Whilst I understand that this whole age thing is to protect the young, how young is too young? why is 18 the magic number? are we all very mature at 18?

This whole sorry saga has got me thinking of something else. These 48 men were charged because the girl was 17. Amongst them are men we work with, men we went to school with, men we might know some way or another, whom we'd never have expected to use such services.

How many many more must there be, how much wider must the total clientele be, of paid sex services? For all you know, every X out of 10 men we know use such services. Harrowing.

I understand that prostitution is legal, it's the oldest profession, etc. But by taking a blase stance of condonement (?), is this where we want our society to go? for our husbands, fathers, brothers, sons to have ready access and an ever growing pool of prostitutes to choose from, simply because we deem there nothing wrong whatsoever with prostitution?

That it exists, is reflection of the state of man (generically, to include women, not flogging men per se). I wouldn't laud it as something as acceptable and worth defending as the next profession.

In wat scenario?
Its an offence for commercial paid sex.
>16 yo between consenting teenagers - no offence deemed to be committed.

I still feel she should be punished.

[laughingcat]

Me too i feel the same. But her real name and photos are all spread across the internet. No way is she going to escape. Aparently the public already know about her back in year 2010 and this shocked me. We are already so slow to know of this. She is from ITE and not from poly and she is 19 yrs old this year.

Alright… the full identity of this student is out. I know it is too late and I know it is useless, but I want to write this post anyway. Prostitution is a sin. Engaging prostitutes is a sin. But what gives us the right to mete out such harsh public punishment to a 17 year old as if WE have never sinned.


Here is a story of 2 girls.

Little H grew up in a home where both her parents were lawyers. She was born in an HDB 5-room flat but by the time she was 19, the family and extended family was living in a good class bungalow along the Bukit Timah stretch. Her toddlerhood was filled with a pair of loving grandparents and a sequence of engaging enrichment classes from phonics to music to art. Little H at 19 was highly accomplished. She was in a top class… in a top JC. There was never any chance that she would do badly because even if her parents did not believe in tuition, they provided resources aplenty and were always there for her. She won at painting competitions… took home prizes for research… and dreamt of being a top notch lawyer. Little H’s environment overfowed with Chanel and Burberry’s.

Little B was born in a Tiong Bahru rental flat to an odd job labourer and a hawker centre assistant. Both regretted the mistakes of their youth which condemned them to such low-paying jobs that took up 12 hour days regularly. The family lived from hand to mouth… never able to put aside money… never able to save up enough to move out of their flat. Neither did they know the wisdom of financial self-restraint. For Little B, Salvatore Ferragamo was a vision that floated past on the arms of kids like Little H, who carried theirs without thinking. In school, Little B received no sense of self-worth. She did poorly in every subject. As such, Teachers either thought she didn’t exist, or they didn’t like her. She ended up in ITE and as far as she could see, she was never going to make much more money than her parents. Her parents worked hard to make ends meet and she did not have the benefit of grandparents’ attention. In fact, Little B’s own mother had given birth to her when she was only 17… and had even forgotten to sign her up for preschool.

Both Little H and Little B grew up into attractive young ladies. The one time a middle-aged coworker at one of her internships cracked a dirty joke and made her cry, Little H’s mother threatened a lawsuit for sexual harassment. Little H learnt to freeze men with a stare.

Little B blossomed early. At 15, she had B cup breasts. At 16, they grew to C cup. This attracted a lot of attention. Never having had much positive attention as a young child, Little B revelled in this flood of attention from men of every age and every walk of life. It was a heady feeling. One day, she was seduced by her NS boyfriend of 2 months. We don’t know how old she was then… 14? 15? The one thing we do know is that she had been initiated into the pleasures of sex early by men who saw nothing but C cup breasts. Later, she met a pimp who offered her $50 to sleep with her. $50 was a lot of money to Little B. Next, with the help of her pimp, Little B began to make more money than she could ever dream of by sleeping with men twice her age. It was a job she enjoyed. She liked sex, and she liked the attention. She also liked the money.

At 19, I pulled a knife on a pickpocket in Barcelona, Spain on a X’mas eve. Happily enough, I didn’t get into real trouble. But if I had, people could just as well have said that I was "not innocent" because I had pulled a knife. At 19, some kids do drugs. Do they deserve a 2nd chance? At 19, a grand uncle of mine killed a man in a bar brawl many decades ago. Did he deserve a 2nd chance?

R those real stories?

Everybody deserves a second chance.
M glad to learn in dis forum dat GQ had turned her life ard.
n I sincerely hope ST can learn fr her experience to do d same.

I once commented to a Thai biz associate why there r so many young girls in d sex trade.
His response was not to be too affected by it coz some girls do it
not coz of unfavourable circumstances but coz they want to.
Just saw today’s Newpaper headlines dat many young girls, as young as 15,
want to become social escorts for d easy money.
In police euphemism, social escort = prostitute.

Once that Indonesian is allowed to leave our soil, he will never step foot again. There is a jail term.


Regarding that trophy wife, she is a NEW one..26 years old. Dated for 6 years but unfortunately this marriage is no fairy tale. A pity bcos the husband is 3rd generation of Shaw family. Looks like this man has brought down the name of his famous family ? She is very young too but why was the husband in heat when he saw a 18 year.
New wife a PRC?

Male members of the Shaw family are eye candy.
The NEW wife is a China born woman...26 year old. She doesn't have gag order on her right ? :evil: Dated her for 6 years. Not bad looking, and capable to attract attention of a member of Shaw family. Unfortunately, that 'prince' may face jail term.
Ex-wife of this Shaw guy must be relieved she is divorced from him.

Exactly. One should not be too judgemental, but likewise, one should not be blind to the current environment. Are some girls/women trapped in the sex trade on the basis of poor home environment or poverty? Undoubtedly. Are some of the girls/women in it because they are morally liberal and have no qualms about trading flesh for some extra money? Or for fun even? In today's environment, whaddya think?
