A NANYANG Polytechnic student on Wednesday became the 12th male to be brought to court for having sex with a 13-year-old girl who in 2008 told police of her sexual encounters with more than a dozen men. Community Court Judge Soh Tze Bian called for a probation report for Jesper Lim Jun Hao, 21, and scheduled the next hearing for April 24.
The young man was arrested after the girl, who was warded in National University Hospital for stomach pain and vomiting in July 2008, was found to be pregnant. She had admitted to a police officer that she has been having sex with several different men since she turned 12.
Her pregnancy was terminated but so far laboratory analyses indicate that none of the 12 men brought to court is the father of the aborted foetus.
The men got to know her through social networking websites such as Friendster and Alamak Chat. Although Lim and her exchanged messages as early as June 2006, they only started chatting regularly a year later.
That was when, she told him that she was 12 years old and he told her he was 16 and studying at the Institute of Technical Education in Ang Mo Kio. They decided to meet in Bukit Batok and she took him to her flat where they had sex. The court heard that they had sex again on another occasion soon after that.
Lim, who was in court with his taxi-driver father and housewife mother, pleaded guilty to one charge of carnal connection with a girl below the age of 16 and agreed for the second offence to be taken into consideration by the judge in the sentencing.
