  • Pump Attendant Infects Minors With STDs

    Pump Attendant Infects Minors With STDs

    A 24-year-old man who had unprotected sex with a 13-year-old girl on multiple occasions, passing on sexually transmitted diseases to her, was jailed for 30 months yesterday.

    Abdul Rashid Mohamed Sam pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual penetration of a minor. Another seven counts were taken into consideration for sentencing.

    The offences took place between October 2013 and January last year. At the time, Abdul Rashid was 22 and working as a petrol kiosk pump attendant.

    He got to know the girl through a 42-year-old cobbler who told him that he could have sex with her.

    The cobbler, Terence Ng Kean Meng, was the girl’s godfather.

    Ng was sentenced to 14 years in prison and 14 strokes of the cane in May, after he admitted to three counts of statutory rape and penetrating the girl with his finger.

    A few days after Abdul Rashid was introduced to the girl, he asked her to be his girlfriend.

    She agreed and met him at the void deck of an HDB block in the Holland Close area the same day.

    While at the void deck, the two began hugging and kissing.

    At about 1am, they went to a sports court, partially undressed themselves, and had unprotected sexual intercourse.

    Abdul Rashid’s offences came to light when the girl was taken by her secondary school teachers to lodge a police report last February.

    She was referred by the police for a medical examination, and tested positive for chlamydia and gonorrhoea. Police investigations revealed that Abdul Rashid sought and received medical treatment at the Department of Sexually Transmitted Infections Control Clinic in 2011 as well as on May 14 last year.

    He tested positive for both infections in February 2011, and for chlamydia in October 2011, December 2011 and May last year.

  • Cobbler Jailed And Caned For Raping 13 Year Old God-daughter

    Cobbler Jailed And Caned For Raping 13 Year Old God-daughter

    Terence Ng Kean Meng, 43, has been sentenced to 14 years’ jail and 14 strokes of the cane Wednesday (May 27) for two counts of raping a 13-year-old schoolgirl and sexually penetrating her with his finger.

    Two other charges were taken into consideration. The victim cannot be named as she is a minor.

    Ng, a divorcee who owns a makeshift cobbler stall near Commonwealth MRT, first noticed the victim when she was loitering near his stall in October 2013.

    After finding out that she had run away from home, he offered to take care for her as her godfather. He even went to the victim’s house to convince her then-ill mother to let him take care of the schoolgirl.

    Although Ng’s defence lawyer Subir Singh Grewal said that the relationship between Ng and the victim started out as a platonic one, the prosecution led by Deputy Public Prosecutor Vikneswaran S/O Kumaran accused Ng of developing an attraction for the victim and having sexual thoughts about her.

    Ng then proceeded to have consensual sex with the victim three times in the next five weeks after they first met.

    On one occasion, Ng brought the victim to his flat. After the victim complained of stomach problems, Ng placed some ointment on her stomach. After she said she was feeling better from the ointment, Ng asked her if she wanted to have sexual intercourse. She said yes, and he proceeded to insert his finger into her vagina.

    In this instance, Ng committed digital penetration on a minor, which is a form of sexual penetration.

    Shortly after the instances of consensual sex, the victim’s mother died and the 13-year-old confided about Ng’s actions to someone at school. She was told to file a police report, and Ng was arrested four days after she did so.

    Under Section 375 of the Penal Code, any man who has sexual intercourse with a woman under 14 years of age is liable to be convicted with statutory rape, with or without the woman’s consent.

    A psychiatric report by Dr Jason Lee Kim Huat found Ng to not be suffering from any mental illness or intellectual disability. However, Ng’s defence said that the accused only had Primary 6 educational qualifications.

    Ng’s mother filed a statement, saying that he was filial and helped to provide for the family, although he had lacked proper education. She said a psychiatric evaluation when Ng was 7 years old revealed he was behind his peers in terms of physical and mental development. However, the family did not have enough money to help rehabilitate Ng.

    The defence also argued that there was no report indicating that the accused had paedophilic tendencies or that the victim had suffered any psychological trauma.

    Ng could have been jailed for up to 20 years and liable to a fine or caning for each charge of statutory rape with a girl under the age of 14.
