THE girl whom a trainee teacher had sex with when she was only 12 is believed to have also been intimate with at least 14 other men.
Six men, aged from 19 to 35 at the time of their offences, have already been dealt with in court. Their punishments ranged from fines to an 18-month jail term.
But The Straits Times understands that an additional nine men have been charged with having sexual relations with her, but there is no outcome yet on their convictions.
The case is believed to be the most severe - involving such a young girl - to have come before the courts.
Said criminal lawyer Sashi Nathan: 'As far as courts are concerned, this is the largest number of men involved that I have heard of. But I'm not particularly surprised because of the amount of access young people have to the Web.'
On Tuesday, trainee teacher Aaron Kok Chun Cheong, now 23, was the sixth man to be convicted for having sex with the girl. He was jailed a total of 15 months for having underage sex with the girl in 2007, when she was 12, as well as with a second underage girl in 2008, when that girl was 15.
