A full-time national serviceman with the Singapore Civil Defence Force was sentenced to 12 months' jail on Tuesday for underage sex and desertion.
Khairul Juperi, 24, who is married with two young children, pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl with her consent in a shelter near Pandan Reservoir last November. He also admitted to deserting his national service duty at the Civil Defence Academy (CDA) at Jalan Bahar for five months and 24 days from May last year.
The court heard that Khairul and the girl were chatting in a shelter near Pandan Reservoir sometime in November last year when they ended up having sex.
The offence came to light when a police officer from the Clementi Police Division was investigating a "missing person'' report involving the teen and she revealed that she had sex with a 23-year-old man. A police report was lodged on Nov 15.
