SINGAPORE – Child sex offender Amos Yee was offered bail of $10,000 on March 26 amid allegations that he had left Singapore without a valid permit for more than nine years.
Yee, who appeared in court via video-link, was deported from the US on March 19.
The 27-year-old appeared in a Singapore district court the next day and was handed three charges under the Enlistment Act.
According to court documents in Singapore, Yee had failed to report for the national service pre-enlistment medical screening and remained outside the country without a valid exit permit after leaving for the US in December 2016 to seek asylum.

Yee is said to have left Singapore without a valid exit permit from Dec 13, 2015, to April 19, 2016, and from Dec 15, 2016, to March 19, 2026.
During this period, he allegedly failed to report for national service medical screening from April 26, 2016, to March 19, 2026.
Yee fled to the US after repeated run-ins with the law in Singapore over comments that he had made that were derogatory to Christians and Muslims.
In March 2018, he was granted asylum in the US, and in September that year, he was released from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention.
