1 year's jail for serial conman already behind bars for earlier cheating offences against women
SINGAPORE - A serial conman, who was sentenced to five years' jail last year after cheating six women of almost $437,000, admitted in a district court on Monday that he had duped a seventh woman of more than $320,000.
Five other cheating charges linked to the remaining amount were considered during sentencing by District Judge Ronald Gwee. For his earlier offences, the Singapore permanent resident had claimed to be an experienced trader and cheated the six women after befriending them on dating platforms Match.com and Tinder. He cheated them in 2016 and 2017.
Around Jan 10, 2016, the woman transferred $20,300 to a bank account belonging to the mother of Aw's third child. The mother later handed the cash to Aw.
