Principal of top school under investigation for hiring prost

[Way2GO]

Heard a 3rd batch including a prominent lawyer n high ranking SAF officer will be charged in court next week.


I hv a niggling feeling dat dis high profile case also serves a greater scheme of things in playing to a foreign gallery.
SIN has been on Tier 2 TIP special watch list for a number of consecutive years, exception being 2010 (Tier 2 WL).

Below is d TIP (Trafficking In Persons) 2007 report’s recommendations.
D paid sex with minor under 18 law was legislated in 2008. (relevant part is highlight in red)

\"SINGAPORE (Tier 2)
Singapore is a destination country for women and girls trafficked for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation. A small number of foreign domestic workers in Singapore face seriously abusive labor conditions that amount to involuntary servitude. Some women from Thailand, the Philippines, the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.), and Indonesia who travel to Singapore voluntarily for prostitution or other work are deceived or coerced into sexual servitude. Some Singaporean men travel to countries in the region for child sex tourism.
The Government of Singapore does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. Singapore demonstrated a clear commitment to combating trafficking, particularly in the area of law enforcement and in instituting new measures to address abuses of foreign domestic workers. With the exceptions noted below, its laws address all forms of trafficking. The Parliament should approve proposed amendments to the Penal Code that would criminalize prostitution involving a minor under the age of 18, extend extra-territorial jurisdiction over Singaporean citizens and permanent residents who purchase or solicit sexual services from minors overseas, and make organizing or promoting child sex tours a criminal offense.\"

Below is an extract from TIP 2011 report.

\"Prevention
The government demonstrated limited efforts to prevent trafficking in persons during the year. Although the
government took some steps to prevent conditions of forced labor, the government did not conduct any anti trafficking
public awareness campaigns or make public any information concerning the extent of the problem.
In March 2011, the government established an Inter-Agency Task Force on Human Trafficking. The government did
not sponsor or conduct any research or assessment of
the problem of human trafficking in Singapore during
the reporting period; authorities reportedly delayed the
publication of independent research conducted on sex
trafficking in the country during the year. Authorities
continued compulsory courses on employment rights
and responsibilities for all incoming foreign domestic
workers and their employers. The government provided
foreign workers with written materials explaining their
rights in their native languages and providing contact
information for reporting complaints to labor authorities,
and warned employers that it is an offense to confiscate
any of these materials. In 2010, the MOM “sternly warned”
24 employment agencies and revoked the licenses of three
agencies for withholding passports of foreign workers,
but authorities did not investigate these agencies for
potential involvement in forced labor. The MOM also
investigated five cases of fraudulent recruitment that
resulted in perpetrators sentenced to three to 10 months’
imprisonment. The MOM trained NGO workers on
Singaporean labor law to assist them in answering calls
to 24-hour hotlines. During the year, the government
instituted a new cap on fees for foreign workers coming
to work in Singapore, though NGOs and the government
acknowledged difficulties in enforcing this cap on source country
labor recruiters who often charge Singapore bound migrants excessive fees that become debt.
The government did not make efforts to reduce the demand
for commercial sex acts in Singapore’s commercial sex
industry. Government-linked Singapore media reported on
trafficking conferences held at universities. The government
continued to partner with an NGO to distribute hotline
information to encourage reporting of child sex tourists to
the Singaporean police at Singapore’s major public travel
fair, but it did not have a means to verify whether the
campaign generated any leads. Although Singaporean law
provides for extraterritorial jurisdiction over Singaporean
citizens and permanent residents who sexually exploit
children in other countries, the government has never
investigated, prosecuted, or convicted a national or
permanent resident for child sex tourism. There were no
reports of Singaporeans engaging in child sex tourism
during 2010. Singapore is not party to the 2000 UN TIP
Protocol.\"

I don't believe the men is not aware that the girl is under aged.

d law removes d age issue as a valid defence, even if she lied.
d onus is on d men to check n verify.

limlim:

She is not some celebrity and they are paying a premium.
The premium is probably for the \" < 18 \" factor.. if not anything else..

A 'celebrity' at $500 a pop?
d queue will be longer than 80, yes? :rotflmao:
d law of diminishing returns kicks in after a while, yes?

limlim:

It is so difficult to just wait for 2 years for the girl to be 16..?

Lust really have a very strong hold those who are weak....... in will..

Easier said than done.
We hv to recognise dat dis is a natural progression of romance,
n dat d male physio makeup is different fr females,
such dat it becomes physically very uncomfortable for most males
to stop an oncoming train fr wanting to complete d act.
d best cure is prevention by not getting oneself into dat situation.

$150 is considered high end, according to some forums in HWZ.

And, 80 names turn up doesn't mean she served only 80pax. Are you sure that the list is not longer than 80? How sure are you?

I would choose to believe the prosecution only serve charges that they are confidence of winning, not anyhow whack. There may be names that are not charged, and names that doesn't even exist on the records. Or the girl may bypass the pimp and she didn't keep a record or expose it.

Of coz, like I say, you can have or own judgement. I am not trying to influence anyone, juz voicing out my opinion.

I do not believe the men is not aware or not interested in engaging the service of under 18.

There are couples, who wait till their wedding night.. and it is a wait that could be more than 2 years.


some mebbe even much longer.

It is not difficult at all. IMO.
