SINGAPORE - Barely a day after he was convicted and released on bail, teenage blogger Amos Yee is once more making waves online, this time by alleging that he had been molested by his Mr Vincent Law, a family and youth counsellor who had stepped forward to bail him out.
Mr Law called the allegation "false".
At 2.40pm on Wednesday, Yee made a lengthy post on Facebook inviting the media to "catch" him as he exited Pasir Panjang MRT station at around 3 or 4pm.
The 16-year-old wrote that if they did, he would "clear the air" and "reveal that little tidbit of information on how (his) ex-bailor, Vincent Law, molested (him)".
When contacted,
Mr Law told the Straits Times: "I deny this very serious and false allegation that he has made. I have no idea why he would say that."
Yee's lawyer Alfred Dodwell said that the post took him by surprise.
"He's never communicated this to me or my team."
He added that he was not in a position to comment on the allegation, saying: "My job is with relation to his two charges and these other issues are his personal issues."
He said he had not spoken with the teenager since they parted ways on Tuesday, when Yee was found guilty of uploading an obscene image and making remarks intending to hurt the feelings of Christians, after a two-day trial last week.
