Man gets probation for underage sex

A 22-YEAR-OLD man became the 11th man to be dealt with for having sex with an underage girl.

The girl, then 13, had told police in 2008 of her sexual encounters with more than a dozen men.

On Thursday, Yang Zhen Long, who intends to further his studies, was placed on 15 months' supervised probation and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service. He had earlier pleaded guilty to having sex with the girl at her place twice in May 2008. A third similar charge was taken into consideration.

The court heard that Yang, then 19, had sex with the girl on May 21 that year, two days after he came to know her.

He went to her home the next day and again had sex with her.

The offences came to light when the girl was admitted to hospital and underwent an abortion in July 2008. Yang was not the biological father of the foetus.
