The court heard that in April 2010, O started a thread titled “wife fantasy” on the Sammyboy forum.<\/p>\n
He made the first post inviting other like-minded men with fantasies about their wives and other men’s wives to contact him.<\/p>\n
He said he wanted to “see if anyone is interested in sharing stories or pictures and videos but on a more discreet basis” and asked those with similar fantasies to send him a private message.<\/p>\n
From 2012, O also posted in the thread and chatted with other forum users about his sexual fantasies, which included sex with the drugged or unconscious wives of other men.<\/p>\n
Between 2012 and 2019, the man posted images from his recordings of sexual encounters with women in a Sammyboy thread titled “wifey pics to share”.<\/p>\n
He would mask the women’s faces with a white circle but leave their private parts exposed. He also watermarked the images with a “copyright” phrase.<\/p>\n
By the time investigations started in 2020, several of the image links no longer worked. Investigators were able to retrieve 19 images, of which 12 were considered obscene.<\/p>\n
In one instance, O posted at least four obscene images to the thread and added the introduction: “Just wanna share some pics of my wife and hear comments from bros here.”<\/p>\n
Deputy Public Prosecutor Sruthi Boppana urged the court to jail the man for eight to 10 weeks, with the sentence to start after his current prison term has been completed.<\/p>\n
She noted that the women in the images were in an intimate relationship with the man and trusted that he would not use their images in this manner.<\/p>\n
“The images were utilised to lure other like-minded individuals to circulate similar compromising materials online,” said Ms Boppana.<\/p>\n
“The images received traction, with a total of 129 replies to this specific thread alone, and more than 2,500 responses to the overall forum posts relating to, inter alia, wife-swapping.”<\/p>\n
Defence lawyer Tan Jia Yi sought eight weeks’ jail to run at the same time as the man’s ongoing prison sentence.<\/p>\n
She said that “despite everything that has happened”, O’s wife remained “supportive” of him. “He’s taking time in prison to reflect on actions and work on himself,” added the lawyer.<\/p>\n
Judge Tan ordered the man’s prison sentences to run consecutively, as concurrent sentences meant he would not face any consequences for his sustained criminal conduct.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
