Four men in underage prostitute case ‘surrendered’ and pleaded guilty
Posted by temasektimes on June 12, 2012
Four more men of the 48 charged for having sex with an underage prostitute had thrown in the towel and pleaded guilty.
33-year-old Louis Lee Lip Kian pleaded guilty to his single charge of having sex with the girl on the afternoon of 20 November 2010 while three other men – 25 year old Wilson Oei, 31 year olds Pyi Kyaw Han and Chiang Meng Chuan have all decided to plead guilty.
The first person to plead guilty is the ex-principal of Pei Chun Public School Lee Lip Hong (pic left) who was recently released from prison after serving a 6 week sentence.
Meanwhile, criminal lawyer Subhas Anandan who is representing ten men said they will fight all the charges.
Speaking to queries from the media after a round of closed pre-trial conferences on Monday, Mr Subhas once again objected to the prosecution’s application for a gag order on the girl’s name:
“She (will have to testify) if they are going to trial….I objected to it [the gag order] on the basis that the provisions of the law do not protect people like her because she’s not a victim of rape or molest, and provisions do not apply,” he said.

The PM stated “One way or the other, we will settle the matter” when he referred to the corruption investigation of two senior officers.
I think the same approach applies here. Let’s settle the matter:
- Is the intent of the Law to protect hardcore underaged prostitutes? Is the Law flawed and if so why not change the Law?
- The Law allowed prostitution but did it state underaged prostitution is allowed? How come the teenage prostitute is not charged? She cannot be a prostitute and be underaged. There appears to be a conflict between two laws then.
- Did the Pimp or the adverts lie? Did the prostitute lie? Are these not mitigation factors?
I look forward to the open court arguments.
