About the case
Charge sheets state that the accused allegedly had sex with the girl at least six times since June 2024, which was before she turned 16.
Zaobao reported that the locations of the sexual assaults included the Marina Bay Sands hotel, Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, and his home.
The ex-actor is also accused of instructing the girl to cry in front of her mother in August 2024, and tell her parent that she did not want him to be charged or go to jail.
He also allegedly stalked her by calling her 18 times within a day, sending a WhatsApp message referencing a certain phrase and logging into her virtual room on the Quan Min K Ge, a karaoke app.

The accused is facing six counts of sexual penetration of a minor, which carries a jail term of up to 10 years, a fine, or both.

It was previously reported that the accused's identity was known to the media through public case records, and the gag order on his identity was only imposed after he was charged.
According to court proceedings records seen by Mothership, a gag order was imposed on his identity as he was apparently "in a relationship" with the victim.
