SINGAPORE \u2013 A full-time national serviceman (NSF) with the Singapore Police Force, <\/p>\n

who offered cash to teenage boys<\/p>\n

<\/a> and asked if he could perform sexual acts on them, was ordered to undergo reformative training for at least a year on Dec 29.<\/p>\n

Young offenders given such a sentence\u00a0are detained in a centre to undergo a strict regimen that can include foot drills and counselling. <\/p>\n

Muhammad Shafirul Danish Muhammad Shaffie, 19, had earlier pleaded guilty in November to two counts of communicating with a young person below the age of 18 to try and obtain sexual services from him.<\/p>\n

Shafirul had also admitted to a harassment charge.<\/p>\n

In earlier proceedings, Deputy Public Prosecutor Lewis Tan said Shafirul befriended a 16-year-old boy, identified as A1 in court documents, on Instagram in November 2024.<\/p>\n

A1 told Shafirul his age,\u00a0and\u00a0during a face-to-face meeting in March, Shafirul borrowed $45 from the boy.<\/p>\n

The next month, instead of repaying the victim, Shafirul repeatedly offered to perform a sexual act on him. He even offered $200 to A1, who turned him down.<\/p>\n

The DPP said: \u201cSubsequently, the accused\u00a0pretended\u00a0to be someone called \u2018Izz Syah\u2019, offered to book a Grab vehicle for A1, and sent A1 a photo of four $50 notes totalling $200 to show that he had the means to pay A1.\u201d<\/p>\n

A1 nonetheless knew it was the accused messaging him and rejected the offer. He then asked Shafirul to return him the $45, the DPP added. <\/p>\n

Shafirul said he\u00a0would\u00a0not repay A1 unless the victim accepted his offer. A1 then lodged a police report on April 10.<\/p>\n

Separately, Shafirul came across a TikTok post by a second 16-year-old boy, identified as A2, in November 2024, and the pair started chatting. A2 also told the offender his age, the court heard.<\/p>\n

In March, Shafirul said he wanted to perform\u00a0either one of two sexual acts\u00a0on A2, and offered to give him up to $290. He also offered the boy $50 to send him a picture of his genitals.<\/p>\n

Shafirul started spamming A2 with messages after the boy rejected his offers.<\/p>\n

DPP Tan said: \u201cThe accused then threatened to expose A2\u2019s face on TikTok to shame A2 for not acceding to the accused\u2019s offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shafirul later posted a video containing A2\u2019s face on the social media platform. In the video, the offender stated that A2 was afraid to meet him face to face.<\/p>\n

A2 later told his sister about his ordeal, and she lodged a police report in June.<\/p>\n

Shafirul was arrested the following month and was released on bail in August.<\/p>\n

Despite this, he\u00a0contacted\u00a0a 15-year-old boy, identified as A5, in September and offered to pay him $279 for either\u00a0one of two sexual activities.<\/p>\n

A5, who did not disclose his age to Shafirul, rejected the offer, the court heard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
