<\/p>\npleading guilty on Dec 22, 2025,<\/p>\n
<\/a> to two charges of obtaining sexual services from a person below the age of 18, and another for trying to get a child below the age of 16 to carry out an obscene or indecent act.<\/p>\n
He had earlier admitted to doing so as he wanted to date girls in secret without his wife discovering it.<\/p>\n
The victim cannot be identified due to a gag order imposed to protect her identity. <\/p>\n
The court heard that the married man created a Carousell account sometime in 2022 using a fake name and photo. He believed this approach would make it easier to hide his intentions from his wife as the platform focuses on the buying and selling of goods.<\/p>\n
In March 2022, he came across a posting of a dress for sale at $18. He then contacted the seller to buy the dress.<\/p>\n
Chew pretended to be a girl when speaking to the seller, saying he would send her brother \u2013 actually himself \u2013 to collect the dress and asked for her mobile number.<\/p>\n
While speaking to her as the \u201cbrother\u201d, Chew found out that the seller was in secondary school.<\/p>\n
He later offered to pay her for sexual services which she accepted as she wanted the money.<\/p>\n
He admitted during investigations that he knew the girl was 13 years old at the time.<\/p>\n
In October 2022, he arranged to meet the girl at a shopping mall in the northern area of Singapore.<\/p>\n
When they met, he took her to his car that was parked in the mall\u2019s multi-storey carpark and drove her to a corner where nobody was around. They moved to the back seat, after which he paid her $150 in exchange for hugging her and touching her over her underwear.<\/p>\n
In May 2023, he again offered the girl $150 to allow him to hug and touch her. The pair met again in the same carpark but found there were people around.<\/p>\n
The man suggested going to the nearest staircase in the carpark. There, he hugged her from behind and touched her under her school uniform.<\/p>\n
Those found guilty of obtaining sexual services from a minor can be jailed for up to seven years, fined, or both.<\/p>\n
Offenders can be jailed for up to seven years, fined up to $10,000 or both if found guilty of getting or trying to get a child below the age of 16 to carry out an obscene or indecent act.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
