Singapore - Not only did he ask her for sex before they had even met, the first time Muhammad Saifulddin Abu Samad met his 12-year-old girlfriend, they kissed and petted.
A few days later, the then-Institute of Technical Education student violated the minor.
And by their third meeting, Saifulddin made the Primary 6 student perform oral sex on him.
Yesterday, a district court convicted the teenager, now 18 years old, of sexual assault against a minor under age 16. He will be sentenced on Aug 19.
The court ordered that no information that could lead to the identity of the victim be published.
Saifulddin got to know the girl through the social networking website Friendster in August last year, according to court documents. After exchanging several SMSes, he managed to persuade her to become his girlfriend - although they had not even met.
Shortly after, he asked her for sex but was rejected as the girl was afraid that she would become pregnant.
On the afternoon of Sept 22, they met for the first time.
They went to a staircase landing of the girl's block where they kissed and petted. Saifulddin bolted when the girl's uncle spotted the couple.
Less than a week later, he arranged to meet her again at a staircase landing of her block where he violated her.
On Oct 5, Saifulddin again asked to meet the girl.
After engaging in kissing and heavy petting for a while, he asked her to perform oral sex on him.
When she turned him down, he raised his voice at her, pulled her towards him, and got his way.
She stopped after a short while because she felt disgusted and the pair went home.
The following day, the girl told her friends in school about the incident, who then informed their teacher. The girl's parents then made a police report.
Yesterday, Deputy Public Prosecutor Navin S Thevar said Saifulddin had made her perform oral sex.
He added that Saifulddin had "actively sought out" the victim from the Internet, despite knowing that she was a young girl.
District Judge Soh Tze Bian called for pre-sentencing reports from probation officers, as well as the Reformative Training Centre, on the teenager. For the offence, Saifulddin faces a jail term of up to 10 years and/or a fine.
