Fang met the teenager at an entertainment event in May 2024. They exchanged contact details and began talking daily. Between June and July 2024, he had sex with the teen nine times at various locations, including Marina Bay Sands hotel and his home.
The actor had unprotected sex with the teen five times. In one instance, he visited her after midnight in hospital while she was being treated for a flu infection. The girl later tested positive for human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted infection.
The teen's mother reported the matter to police in August 2024. Court documents show Fang told the girl to cry in front of her mother and beg her not to let him go to jail. He also called her 18 times in one day and sent numerous messages.
The victim developed depression and suicidal thoughts. She was later admitted to the Institute of Mental Health. In his remarks, Judge Tham stated Fang knew what he was doing and took advantage of the teen's emotional vulnerability. The judge noted Fang's attempts to manipulate the victim caused her additional harm.
