An unemployed youth who has borderline intelligence was sentenced to 21 months' probation on Tuesday for making a 14-year-old girl perform oral sex on him about four years ago.
The 17-year-old was 14 at the time of the offence at a staircase landing in Bukit Batok West Avenue 6 in March or April 2008. He cannot be named as there is a gag order.
A Community Court heard that he, his three male friends then aged 12 to 15, the victim and her female friend, then 15, used to hang out at HDB void decks in Bukit Batok after school to chat and spend time together. The accused's accomplice, the 14-year-old, used to frequent a Chinese temple and allegedly saw people possessed by 'Chinese gods'. He told his friends about what he had seen at the temple during the Chinese New Year in February 2008.
When he heard that the 12-year-old's efforts to befriend the victim had been rejected, the 14-year-old hatched a plan. He suggested to the trio that they trick the victim by pretending to be possessed to make her listen to them and do their bidding.
Between February and April 2008, the accused and his three accomplices pretended to be possessed by gods and ghosts to try and deceive and frighten the victim and her friend into complying with their instructions.
They intentionally duped her and her friend into performing various sexual acts on them.
Sometime in March or April that year, the six met at a staircase landing in Bukit Batok West Avenue 6. The victim's friend was sent away to get some money. The teens then pretended to be possessed and made the victim fellate each of them.
The juvenile has been sentenced to 21 months probation with three months' stay at the Boys' Home. The 14-year-old, who is now 17, and an 18-year-old are awaiting to be sentenced.
