A 48-year-old former relief teacher has been sentenced to ten months imprisonment for making inappropriate advances toward an underage female student.
The man started working as a relief teacher in a secondary school in the northeast side of Singapore in October 2010.
He obtained the number of his 13-year-old student through her Facebook page and began sending her lewd text messages. The man even asked her to be his girlfriend.
In one of his SMSes, he called the girl "dear" and asked her to masturbate him.
Among the 26 text messages he sent her in October and November 2010, he also asked if she had any "desires" and whether she touched herself.
The girl did not reciprocate and twice rejected his requests to meet her.
She then confided in a senior schoolmate, who reported the matter to the school.
The girl and her family also made a police report.
After being sentenced on Tuesday, the man asked the judge if he could be spared jail time as he had to help raise his three children.
The judge rejected his request.
