A Malaysian man was convicted of four charges including cheating for sex and extortion on Thursday (Nov 27).
According to CNA, Rajwant Singh Gill Narajan Singh, 38, had lured women from Singapore to Malaysia pretending to be a white sugar daddy and had extorted one of his victims of more than US$140,970 (S$183,000).
The prosecution sought for 13 years’ jail and 15 strokes of the cane for the “horrific and perverse” acts committed by Singh.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Jeremy Bin said that, if the crimes had occurred in Singapore, he could have been charged with rape instead, and called Singh “effectively a serial rapist” who forced his victims to do acts that were “utterly debasing” and “disgusting”.
Singh was arrested in a joint covert operation by the Singapore Police Force and Royal Malaysian Police Force and charged in Singapore.
The then-unemployed man, who lived with his wife and children, gave detailed confessions, claiming remorse and saying he needed the money for his family.
However, in court, he was unrepresented and pleaded not guilty, saying he had engaged in the sexual acts but was not the “sugar daddy” in question.
