AN ACCOUNTANT who had paid sex with a teenage prostitute from China was jailed for two weeks and fined a total of $16,000 on Tuesday.
Rodney Sim Hang Nge, 61, who has a son and a daughter, pleaded guilty last December to having sex with the 16-year-old girl by paying her $100 on each of two occasions on Aug 3 and 5 last year.
He was convicted under a new law that came into effect in February last year, making it a crime for anyone to engage in paid sex with a person under the age of 18. The maximum penalty is a seven-year jail term and a fine.
In November, the pimp who arranged for the teenager from China to prostitute herself here was jailed 12 months by the High Court after the prosecution appealed against his initial $8,000 fine.
Another man, renovation contractor Tan Chye Hin, 55, who appealed against his 12-month sentence for having sex with the same girl, had his sentence cut to nine months on appeal.
The court heard that the 16-year-old victim and another girl from China, aged 19, would sit with their pimps at a coffeeshop in Geylang to wait for customers.
On Aug 3 Sim was at the coffeeshop when the girl, who was with Wang Minjiang, 37, beckoned him over.
Sim asked how much she was charging for sex. Wang quoted $100. When Sim tried to bargain it down, Wang said the girl had just arrived from China and was 'different'' from others. Sim agreed to pay $100.
He drove her to a nearby hotel for sex. Two days later he had sex with her again and bought her a pre-paid card, fruit and gave her $30.

Apparently, he realized that the girl was being exploited by her pimp and wanted to seek help for her.
Then when the police realized that she was just 16, the fella got charged.
So, yeah, self-ownage in a way. But he was asking for it. ![]()

the print version reported the guy is also a church elder from lighthouse evangelism, a fairly large church...how to hide face....aiyo....
I think it is legal for 16... but must be 18 for paid transaction ba...
How come? I think is more than meet the eyes. How can a guy after sex with underage so stupid and drive themselves to meet the police?
I think the elder is innocent. He is just trying to protect something by falsefully admit the crime.
It's illogical.

well ... I hope the man won't get it too badly .......
at least he's feeling his guilt ....
wala0 they say he sneak inside the church every sunday (coz he too ashamed)
According to The New Paper, he asked beforehand and was told that the gal was above 18 years old. She was actually 16. So in a way, he was tricked. The gal then told him that her passport was kept by the pimp and that he was exploiting her so he brought her to make a police report. He was surprised when he ended up being charged. Kinda suay..
well, someone had to be the pioneer.

robin williams once said 'god gave men only enuf blood to use one head at a time'
so he began to think 'better' after he was done with his transaction and the blood returned to the head with the brain.
