A man facing charges that include cheating was out on bail when he had sex with an underage girl, and later lied to the police that a teenage boy had raped her.
He had pleaded guilty to seven charges for offences such as cheating, sexually penetrating the 15-year-old girl and providing a false statement to the authorities.Deputy public prosecutors Norman Yew and Ashley Chin stated in court documents that he had received “investment offers” from unknown persons on messaging platform Telegram promising him $1,000 if he allowed them to access his bank accounts.
The woman later decided to cancel the booking as the payment was wrongly made in US dollars instead of Singapore dollars. The man did as he was told and handed the cash to Toh, who gave him $30,000 from the amount. Toh also told him he had cheated the woman.
