Hawker stall assistant was almost 40 years older than the boy at the time of the offences. The crimes came to light when the boy's stepfather lodged a police report saying the victim had been sexually assaulted by three different men.
Ng pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual penetration of a minor, with another six charges taken into consideration. He is the third of the three men to be dealt with.
The court heard that Ng befriended the Secondary 1 student on Grindr around December 2019 or January 2020. He thought the victim was 13 years old.
The victim identifies himself as bisexual and was introduced to gay dating apps around June 2019 through an acquaintance he met on Instagram, said the prosecutors.
He downloaded two such apps, including Grindr, and falsely declared that he was 18 in order to register for the app. However, he indicated on his Grindr profile that he was 13.
After Ng came to know the victim on Grindr, they began chatting on WhatsApp. Ng told the victim he would take care of him and give him money.
Between Jan 16 and Jan 28 in 2020, Ng met the victim three times, engaging in sexual activities on each occasion.
On one occasion, Ng offered to pay the GrabCar fare for the victim to travel to Ng's house after school. They met for sexual activity and Ng handed him S$70 afterwards.
Ng also gave the victim S$80 on another occasion, as well as more cash and a red packet on the third occasion.
On Feb 5, 2020, the victim's stepfather checked his phone and confronted the boy, who admitted to having "physical contact" with three men.
The victim's stepfather contacted Ng, who alleged that the victim had been asking him for money. He also asked the victim's stepfather how to "settle" the issue.
The stepfather lodged a police report after discussing the issue with the victim's mother.
Deputy Public Prosecutor G Kannan asked for at least 32 months' jail for Ng. He noted that the other two men who had sex with the victim had been sentenced to 32 months' jail and 32 months and four weeks' jail respectively.
While they were not co-accused, the offences were similar and against the same victim, he said.
