Illegal 'Relationship' between a 32-year-old woman & a 13-year-old boy

Singapore boys are that desirable? Nah. This is only the second case involving an older woman & an underage boy. Remember the recent case of a female teacher having sex with a 15-year-old student?

Another case of a woman having sex with an underage boy has been brought to the court.

This time, a 32-year-old woman is accused of having sex with a 13-year-old student on seven occasions in May last year. The accused, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the boy, was charged a week ago.

On Monday, she was brought back to court, at which she indicated that she was pleading guilty to two charges that the prosecution is proceeding.

The petite woman, a stall assistant, was not represented and was remanded in custody as she could not post the $10,000 bail offered.

The case will be mentioned on Wednesday afternoon.

Amendments to the Penal Code in February last year make it an offence for a woman to have sex with a boy under 16. If convicted, the woman can be jailed for up to 10 years or fined, or jailed and fined.

In February, a former 32-year-old school teacher became the first woman to be jailed 10 months for having sex with a 15-year-old student at a Pasir Ris chalet in March last year.

The pair went to have sex five more times either at her home or the chalets before she decided to call it quits.

She felt that the boy was getting overly possessive and temperamental. She also began having regrets about the relationship.

When he refused to end the affair, she ignored his calls and SMSes. On May 13, the boy threatened to kill her and her family members. She was worried that he would carry out the threat and two days later, she confided in her school counsellor.

Update on 07/04: the trial has started. A slight confusion whether the underage boy is 13 years old (like stated in the previous article) or 15 (as mentioned in the latest article below).

A woman accused of having sex with an underage boy has been taken to court.

The 32-year-old stall assistant pleaded guilty to causing a person under 16 to have sex with her on several occasions between May 4 and May 17 last year.

The woman cannot be named to protect the identity of the boy, a student, then aged 15.

She was not represented and has been in custody for a week as she could not raise the $10,000 bail offered.

At her second court appearance yesterday, the petite woman with dyed brown hair indicated that she would be pleading guilty to two of the seven charges filed against her.

Her case will be mentioned again tomorrow.

Following amendments to the Penal Code in February last year, it is an offence for anyone to have sex with a person under 16.

If convicted, she can be jailed for up to 10 years and/or fined.

In February, a 32-year-old former school teacher became the first woman to be jailed 10 months for having sex with a 15-year-old student at a Pasir Ris chalet in March last year.

The pair had sex on five more occasions either at her home or the chalet before she decided to end the relationship.

The married mother of two, who came to know the boy during an overseas school trip, felt that he was getting overly possessive and temperamental. She also began having regrets about the affair.

When he refused to end the relationship, she ignored his calls and SMS messages. Then in May, the boy threatened to kill the woman and her family members.

She was worried that he would carry out the threat and two days later, she spilled her secret to the school counsellor.

Update on 08/04: the verdict is out! Again, it's a 10-month jail for the culprit--exactly the same with that for the first case involving the 32-year-old former teacher. It's again stated that the underage boy was 13 years old.

A former canteen stall assistant who had sex with a 13-year-old boy was jailed for 10 months on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old unemployed woman admitted to two counts of causing a man under 16 to have sex with her on May 4 and 17 last year.

Between the two dates, the pair had had sex on five other occasions which were taken into consideration during her sentencing.

She is the second woman to be jailed for such an offence. In February, a 32-year-old former teacher was packed off to prison for 10 months for a similar offence with a 15-year-old student.

The married mother of two's conviction came one year after the Penal Code was changed to make sex between an adult woman and a boy below 16 a crime.

On Wednesday, Assistant Public Prosecutor Kalidass Murugaiyan told District Judge James Leong that the accused, a divorcee, would leave her 14-month-old child in the care of a friend while she was working.

As the baby-sitter - the victim's mother - did not know how to use a mobile phone, she asked her son to call or send a text message to the accused to ask her when she would be dropping off her child. That was how the accused started to call and SMS the victim.

On May 4, the APP said the accused invited the victim home. He agreed and after watching a movie, the pair went to her flat where they had sex.

Meanwhile, the accused's sister and the boy's mother became increasingly suspicious of her relationship with the victim.

The accused, who was suffering from depression at the time, could have been jailed for up to 10 years or fined or jailed and fined on each of the two charges.
