Former deputy public prosecutor Spencer Gwee Hak Theng, charged with having paid sex with a minor, took the stand on Tuesday morning.
This after District Judge Toh Yung Cheong said that the prosecution had proven that Gwee had a prima facie case to answer to.
The 60-year-old is accused of paying an underaged Vietnamese prostitute $300 for sex in July 2011 at Four Chain View hotel in Geylang.
His lawyer, Subhas Anandan, had earlier submitted to the court that Gwee had no case to answer, as the state had failed to prove that the girl was below 18 at the time she met Gwee. This was because the police officer who cracked the vice syndicate she was working for failed to seize her IC - which she then claimed she lost - and the court had to rely on whatever she said her age was.

I believe that if they are foriegners, there are high chances of them be trafficked/smuggled in. Remember, the under-age girl is not self-employed but rather have a middleman.

Check out the young female LAs or lawyers in this case and Professor Tey's case. *rubs his hands* my time will come... patience...
Defence should've pulled the " but but but .. My Lord! IC does not prove age ... only a birth cert can prove one's age!"

Those who kanna into this underage prostitute, only one word can describe...
(UNLUCKY), phui !
Daily, thousands of ppl look for prostitutes.
To be frank, who will ask for IC or birth cert when visit prositute.
Simply a one time trade off, " i pay ,u service me".
Again, its is just very very very unlucky !
Only in Singapore, you need to check ic or passport before a trade.
High time to review age of consent law. 13.5 should be the base age.

No way, you want to turn Singapore into a pedophile paradise?

You missed my point. Whether age of consent laws exist or not, it still does not stop those hell-bent on losing their virginity before the age of 16 from doing so. In short, the law is an ass, a big ass and nothing but an ass.
