SINGAPORE: A 22—year—old woman has been sentenced to 24 months’ probation and 150 hours of community service for performing sexual acts on an underaged girl.
The woman, who is a student, cannot be named to protect the girl’s identity.
The woman had pleaded guilty on March 16 to two counts of committing an obscene act with a child.
She performed the acts on the then—13—year—old girl with her consent in 2008 and 2009.
Investigations revealed that the woman and the girl were acquainted through the girl’s schoolmate in November 2007.
They became good friends and entered into a relationship about two months later.
According to court documents, the woman first committed the act on the girl in November 2008 at a staircase landing of a multi—storey car park.
Three months later, she performed a similar act on the girl in a room at Siloso Beach Resort in Sentosa.
The girl’s mother soon learnt about her daughter’s relationship with the woman and alerted the authorities.
District Judge Low Wee Ping said the woman will have to attend programmes to " address her sexual offending behavior."
In addition, her parents have to post a bond of S$4,000 to ensure her good behaviour.
