Former principal jailed for underage paid sex
SINGAPORE: Former principal of Pei Chun Public School Lee Lip Hong has been sentenced to nine weeks' jail for having paid sex with a minor.
He pleaded guilty on Friday morning.
The court heard that Lee first came to know of the girl's services from an Internet vice website.
He then procured her services through the website, which stated the girl's age as 18 years old.
Lee's lawyer Melanie Ho told the court that her client was misled about the girl's real age.
She said that when he met the girl's pimp, Tang Boon Thiew, he was told that the girl was 19 years old.
Ms Ho said Lee had no reason to suspect that she was younger than her stated age on the website.
She said when Lee met the girl, she told him she was 19 years old.
Ms Ho said Lee did not suspect anything was wrong and had no reason to doubt her stated age, based on her physical appearance, demeanour and maturity.
Lee broke down during the court session as his lawyer pleaded for leniency.
Ms Ho said her client was very remorseful and understood that he had made a very serious mistake.
Lee later requested to plead personally, telling the judge that even though he changed his mind and decided to engage a counsel, he never changed his decision to plead guilty.
He said he was fully ashamed of his actions, which have caused pain and harm to his family, especially his wife.
Lee said he had disappointed many who entrusted him to be their role model.
He also acknowledged that it was his personal lack of control of his moral standards and his weak resistance to distractions that led to his mistake.
When the jail sentence was handed down at about noon, Lee was seen wiping tears from his eyes.
Lee's lawyer, who had pleaded to the court to impose a fine, later told reporters that her client has taken full responsibility for his actions.
She said he was remorseful and was ready to move on.

he paid dearly for one night of 'fun'.

Even if he was misled, he could have still asked to see her IC.
If she refused to produce it, he could have just walked out.
This is what happens when he thinks with the wrong head.

"Lee broke down during the court session as his lawyer pleaded for leniency.

If the client was misled, why should he be sentenced guilty?

in view of the insensitivity of how the case is being handled, it has raised quite a large outrage that does not reflect positively back to the system.... i foresee 2016 is going to be a good year again ....

Look he wanted a very young girl in the first place. Infact what he wanted is one who has just reached the legal age to have sex. Too bad he was tricked.
The law is to protect very young girls, and to be sure that there are no loophole for these paedophiles to escape, the law is absolute. The girl underage under the law, you have sex, it is an offence. Full stop.
Most common excuse "I didn't know" even if they know they will say that. That one cannot use anynore, so now they say they kena bluff. This excuse still not allowed.
No need to ask for NRIC or birth cert. just don't prefer very young girls.
It is stupid, young is good, even younger better, if younger still betterest, if not stopped, have you any idea how young they will go?
-
there is an "insensitivity" price to pay
-
What happened to the pimp who recruited the minor to become whore?

Jack Neo distract what?

Distract what? Yes.
The man behind the cleaner, Mr Ravi, won't be distracted.
It is more making use of Mr Lee as an example. Now the other tua hoots are all scarred.
If they are done it, their legs are shaking. If they haven't they will not start.

they should not be published till they have a chance to prove on trial and are convicted.
the best part is that they have gag protection for women but not for men, which i do not think that is correct under human rights. Further, Subhash has insisted to know who the girl was and her identity before there is any grounds for charge.
Why was this revealed only at a later stage? is that right?
the case has proven some legal as well as administrative loopholes on how the case should be handled in a fair and equitable manner.
