The man accused of being behind the online vice ring involving an underage prostitute pleaded guilty to about a fifth of his charges on Thursday, according to local media.
39-year-old Tang Boon Thiew admitted to committing 20 charges, including abetting the prostitute's activities and living off her earnings, as well as starting the vice ring in 2010. Channel NewsAsia (CNA) reported that a further 82 charges will be taken into consideration for sentencing.
Based on court documents, Tang reportedly told the girl not to disclose to clients that she was 17 years old, which is a year younger than when a prostitute can legally be paid for services in Singapore. Full story
