The 60-year-old came to Kuala Lumpur with his wife Julia Leung earlier in January for work.
SINGAPORE: While he was studying part-time at Nanyang Technological University, a man used his dormitory room to host photoshoots of girls, including one who was just 13, posing in lingerie.He pleaded guilty to three offences – outrage of modesty, procuring an indecent act by a child and possessing child sexual abuse material.
The court heard that Tnee, who was 25 or 26 years old at the time, was working as a flight engineer while studying at NTU. In 2016 or 2017, he took up photography as a hobby and began asking friends and strangers to pose as models for photoshoots. The photoshoots were hosted at his dormitory room at Graduate Hall 1, and were mostly of females in revealing clothes. Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Jing Min said Tnee approached women whom he found attractive, and hoped he would engage in sexual acts with each model. In 2018, Tnee put online advertisements on Gumtree seeking girls to pose for photos in exchange for money. An 18-year-old victim responded to his advertisement and met Tnee three times within two months at his dorm room. Each photoshoot lasted about two hours. She posed in lingerie provided by Tnee and was paid about $200 for each session.On the third session, Tnee told her to lie on his bed before securing her wrists to the bed frame using restraints. After taking photographs of the victim, he molested her. He also tried to kiss her, but she turned away. Undeterred, Tnee molested her again. DPP Tan said: “The victim was shocked and afraid as she was restrained. She told that she wanted to stop the session and told that his behaviour was not right.”On another occasion in 2018, Tnee approached a 13-year-old girl at a overhead bridge, asked for her number and invited her to be his model.After Tnee repeatedly messaged the girl on Instagram, she felt she had no choice but to agree to a photoshoot so he would leave her alone, said DPP Tan. When she went to Tnee’s dorm room, she followed his instructions to change into lingerie. He then took photos of her. DPP Tan said: “The victim told that she was uncomfortable, but ignored the victim and continued to take photos of her. The victim felt very upset.”Tnee was arrested after he approached an 11-year-old girl for a photoshoot on Sept 13, 2020. Court documents did not mention if she posed for Tnee. During police interviews, he disclosed his other photoshoots, which led to the discovery of his offences. The police found 1,144 obscene video files on his mobile phone, laptop and hard-disk drives, of which 69 videos and 81 photos were child sexual abuse material. Tnee’s lawyer, Gino Hardial Singh, said while his client was aware there was child sexual abuse material in the pornographic files he had downloaded in bulk, he never consumed them. Nevertheless, District Judge Eugene Teo said it did not change the fact that “they are highly objectionable materials for which caning ought to be imposed”.Counselling and Buddhist meditation, among other things, have since helped him to change his life around, he wrote. Judge Teo told Tnee during sentencing: “I hope that as you are standing there … you were uncomfortable, because that indicates that you have some capacity for reform.” Calling the offences serious, the judge added: “This outcome is meant to signal something, Tnee, that you should make sure you don’t falter in your efforts to reform yourself.” NTU told The Straits Times in 2023 that Tnee had graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2016 and a master’s in 2020. It did not state the field of his studies. Its spokesman said there were no allegations of criminal misconduct or charges brought against him while he was a student at the university. - The Straits Times/ANNChina moves to improve ties with South Korea, starting with tourism and K-pop'Torpedo' found on east coast beach raises concern, says UMT oceanographer
