Heavy traffic, diverted thro filter, any idea about cause? -

I see your point but I do feel that in this case, both the pimp and the underaged prostitute have made concerted effort to hide the real age. If nothing has been said and the guys took the risk, I would agree with you. However, iirc, the website had made a false representation that the girl is 18.
No. your example is too detached from the case.AC_Power:
Good point. Change the scenario a bit.
The fishmonger did weigh but his tampered his scale.
The officer ask why I never bring my own weighing scale.
Fair?
Just say, tampered his scale, don't talk about you bringing your own scale.
In this case, you would be the innocent party, and I do agree that it is not fair to arrest you. Because you DID check the scale.
Let's relate it to the case. It is akin to the man asking to see the ID of the girl, and the girl produced an ID of someone older who looked almost exactly like her, or a fake ID so real that one could not reasonably expect it to be fake.
Then, the man will have a valid defense, IMO.
But, in all the man's case, no ONE actually verified the ID of the girl. That, is the key point.
Just feel a little \"ai wan\" for these men. I do not think anyone of them has the intention of hiring an underage prostitute but because they failed to exercise due diligence, they are now facing the music. -
I don’t think they knew they were dealing with a shady stall.
They probably thought they were leaving things in the good hands of a professional who would have known all the rules pertaining to under age prostitution plus they indicated on the website that she was 18. It is quite a typical consumer behaviour here that we do not check the certification and authenticity of the products that we buy as long as we buy via recommendation or a vendor we think have a passable reputation.
I am not condoning their act based on morals grounds just like gambling and smoking but they are consumers of a trade that is legal in Singapore. Hence objectively they are victims in a way of poor vendor business ethics. -

well.. \"that\", is your view/opinion..
Just feel a little \"ai wan\" for these men. I do not think anyone of them has the intention of hiring an underage prostitute but because they failed to exercise due diligence, they are now facing the music.
from the way I view it (just personal view/opinion), they would engage the service of under-aged prostitute if deep inside they knew she is underage, but is not advertised as such. Then, if caught, try to wiggle their way out finding all sorts of excuses.
The law has to be the way it is, to effectively protect the minors and provide deterrence against engaging the service of underage prostitute.
If \"reasonable mistake as to age\" were to be a valid defense, the law will have no bite. Everyone will just cook up excuses that they are lied about the age, even if they explicitly seek out underage prostitutes. There are 1001 ways to exploit the loophole.
Let's talk about \"intent\". It is natural that a man would want to up a young woman. It would be ridiculous and difficult to expect prosecution to bear the burden of proof of intent. For such case, the burden of proof will be on the defense, to prove beyond reasonable doubt, how their client does not have the intent to upz the young woman. If they exercise due diligence and checked the iD, it would be apparent that they indeed do not have the intent to seek the service of underage prostitute. If no proof.. then, have to go by reasonableness of natural attraction.. The man does indeed have the \"intent\". -
both of you are trying to divine the mind of the customers .... :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Does the girl looked young? or look matured like 30+?I don't think they knew they were dealing with a shady stall.

Apparently.. she looked young.. and that, is a selling point.. youth.
What if they purposely seek out this site, hoping to lay an underage girl as bonus? instead of those geylang stall which confirmed is matured offerings.
If the girl looked mature like 30+, then maybe I would agree that they are \"innocent\" victims.
As for the last part, I would agree that the pimp should be dealt a heavy sentence..
As for the prostitute, probably she should get some punishment too.. if she is deceitful and dishonest in business dealings. -
