SINGAPORE - He asked her to be his girlfriend, had sex with her and promised to marry her.
But she was only 13 years old then.
And he was her relief teacher, 14 years older than her.
Last Monday, Ross Ryan Kristiaensen, now 30, pleaded guilty to two counts of having sex with his underage student.
Two other similar charges will be taken into consideration during sentencing on April 3.
A district court heard that the two became close after a salad-making competition at the end of July 2009.
Kristiaensen, who taught home economics, was the teacher in charge of preparing students for the competition organised by a local community centre.
A day before the competition, he asked her out for lunch and they later went shopping for items for the competition.
After that, they started exchanging text messages and calling each other daily.
She treated him as an older brother with whom she shared her problems.
He also treated her as a younger sister and asked her out for meals.
About four months later, they met for breakfast, after which he invited her back to his flat at Commonwealth Avenue.

While in his bedroom, they kissed and hugged. He then asked her to be his girlfriend, and she agreed.
He told her to keep it a secret.
About a week later, he invited her to his home again and they had sex for the first time. After taking her virginity, he promised to marry her.
They had sex again on New Year's Eve at a condominium on Bayshore Road and at his home again in June 2010.

On Sept 1, 2010, she saw an online chat between him and another girl.
When she asked him about it, he claimed that she did not have time for him, pushing him to talk to another girl.
They argued and broke up that month, but she still had feelings for him so they kept in touch.
About five weeks later, she asked him over to her home when her parents were overseas. He spent the night in her bedroom and they had sex.
Two days later, he was hospitalised and she visited him, missing dinner with her family.
Her brother found out where she was and went looking for her with their mother and his wife.
There, they saw her sitting very close to Kristiaensen and she was crying.
Kristiaensen identified himself as her teacher. When asked what was going on between ?them, he said she had no friends and he was helping her with her studies.
When she was confronted by her family members at home later, the girl confessed to having a sexual relationship with Kristiaensen and made a police report the following day.

She maintained contact with Kristiaensen because she loved him and missed him. Kristiaensen, on the other hand, asked her to stop contacting him.

Following the police report, the school terminated his service and the Ministry of Education de-registered him as a relief teacher.
Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Kavita Uthrapathy said the accused had preyed on the victim's youth and vulnerability, and had taken away her innocence merely to satiate his lust.
Kristiaensen exploited her as his "sexual plaything" and after the offences came to light, he "callously discarded her".
He didn't come clean with what he did and lied when confronted by the victim's sister-in-law about their relationship.
In view of all these, DPP Kavita pressed for a sentence that would serve as a lesson for the accused's transgressions and to deter others from such conduct.
Anyone convicted of sexual penetration of a minor can be jailed up to 10 years, fined or both.

PETALING JAYA: A 25-year-old American tou­rist was robbed and raped by two men after being taken on a 80km terror ride in a taxi.

The woman had gone shopping at a mall on Monday and hailed the taxi when she had finished.

The taxi driver, with a man in the front passenger seat, picked up the woman.

Sources revealed that instead of heading to her intended destination, the victim was robbed before being taken on a 80km ride from Mutiara Damansara to a house in Sungai Pelek, Sepang.

The two abductors then took turns raping the tourist.

It is learnt that the woman freed herself on Tuesday and sought the assistance of passers-by before lodging a police report.

Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamed confirmed that police have received a report.

“We have arrested one man so far and in­vestigations are ongoing. We hope to detain the second suspect soon,” he said.

Soldier jailed for sex with two minors

- Told one minor he was a "Satanist"

A 21-year-old army regular was jailed for 20 months on Tuesday for having sex with two minors. Neither the accused nor the two girls, then aged 15 and 11, can be named as there is a gag order.

A district court heard that he was initially given a 12-month conditional warning for having sex with his girlfriend, aged 15, at his home in November 2008. He was then 17. The girl, now 19, became pregnant and underwent an abortion.

He breached the condition of the warning to remain crime-free for the next 12 months by committing similar offences.

This time, he preyed on his 11-year-old cousin. Claiming that he was a "Satanist'', he told her in October 2009 that since she was the first person to touch him, she must have sex with him or else "Satan'' would "come after her''.

The girl became disturbed and later on, began to believe him as she started seeing "figures'' in her bedroom. She was often scolded by her mother and she attributed the incidents of "bad luck'' to the fact that she did not have sex with the accused.

The two were in the living room one day when he asked her if she could recall what he had said to her and she acknowledged. She performed oral sex on him and they had sex afterwards. He had sex with her without her consent in March and April 2010.

When seen by the Child Guidance Clinic, the younger victim reported being made use of, had passive suicidal wishes and poor sleep due to the abuse. Nine other similar charges against the younger victim were considered during his sentencing.

Ballsy Rapist sentenced 27 years in jail

KUALA LUMPUR: A jobless man who raped a Vietnamese girl at a massage parlour, forced its caretaker to watch the act and then rob the centre was jailed 27 years and ordered to be whipped nine times.

Mohamad Fadzlie M. Rosdi, 20, whose rape victim told the police that he had ball bearings in his private parts, cried when he was approached by his father, kissed his mother’s hand and hugged his brother after the verdict was handed down.

Former contractor Mohd Khairell Idzham Hashim, 21, who slashed the caretaker’s left ear (the victim required 120 stitches for his injuries) and a cosmetics salesman’s hand, received 30 years’ jail and 10 strokes of the rotan.

The statement of facts revealed that Mohamad Fadzlie raped the 18-year-old girl on a sofa and forced the caretaker and another Vietnamese woman to watch it at Seasons House Theraphy Centre in Setapak at 1am on Nov 25.

Upon hearing the court judgment yesterday, the family members and friends of both accused wept openly.

When Mohamad Fadzlie’s father told him that “we will see you in jail tomorrow”, the younger man broke down.

Judge Emelia Kaswati Mohamad Khalid said the Sessions Court considered that both accused, who had been detained at two rehabilitation centres for two years under the Emergency Ordinance, were only released in March.

“You still are not remorseful. It is more cruel when you committed the rape in front of others,” she said, adding that the court had also taken into account a parang was used to cause injury to two victims.

“I hope the sentence will give a lesson for you. Go into religion while you are in jail. You learn to pray,” she told both accused.

Emelia sentenced Mohamad Fadzlie to 15 years in jail and five strokes of the rotan for rape and 12 years and two strokes of the rotan for each of the two causing hurt in committing robbery charges. The jail term for causing hurt will run concurrently.

Emelia gave Mohd Khairell 15 years and five strokes of the rotan for each of the two charges of causing hurt in committing robbery.

The judge made the order after hearing the victim impact statements from caretaker Jong Chiak Eng and salesman Teoh Chee Fah.

Yesterday, Jong said his ear was slashed by the accused, adding that not long after the attack, his ear fell off and he had to see a specialist to re-attach it.

Teoh said he could still feel pain in his left hand after the incident.

Boyfriend of Amy Winehouse 'raped woman as she slept'

The boyfriend of late Grammy-winning British singer Amy Winehouse allegedly raped a female friend while she was asleep, a British court heard Monday.

Reg Traviss, 35, a film director who was dating Winehouse when she died of alcohol poisoning at her London home in July last year, faces two counts of rape at Southwark Crown Court in London.

The prosecution claims Traviss attacked the woman, a friend, after she was so drunk she could not stand.

The complainant, who spoke from behind a screen, told the jury of six men and six women that Traviss had been "shattered and quite distressed" by Winehouse's death when she saw him six weeks before the alleged rapes.

She said she saw Traviss three or four times a year, but there was no indication of romance.

The court heard that Traviss and the complainant had been drinking at three bars in London on December 30 last year before going to his home.

The woman alleges she fell asleep twice and woke up to Traviss raping her.

The court heard that the woman could not find her underwear when she was about to leave Traviss' home.

Prosecutor Kate Lumsdon said Traviss told the alleged victim: "I actually want to keep them."

The court heard that in the new year the complainant travelled to New York to stay with a friend and waited about three weeks before reporting Traviss to police once she returned to London.

But Ian Winter, a defence lawyer for Traviss, said the two were equally drunk and had consensual sex. The claims were "frankly absurd", he said.

After the alleged rapes the pair texted each other about possibly meeting up the following night to go to a band's after-show party.

The trial continues.
