he fucked her during covid quarantine. shouldn't the hospital be investigated as well, for multiple breaches of security. How did he, as a stranger to the gal, sneak into her room?

The law never states the penalty comes with a mandatory caning unlike other charges

Foreigner gets stern warning
PR gets jail
Shitizen gets rotan and jail

If Malay, confirm caning.

SG Malays are the dumbest in the nusantara.

I believe the "prosecutorial discretion" to prefer a lesser charge against him was exercised after some intense [plea] bargaining before the charges were even brought to light.

In the end, he chose to plead guilty [to a lesser charge] in order to avoid rotan on his butt cheeks..

"The difference between them, however, is that Section 376A(2)(a) applies to an offender who was in a relationship exploitative of the victim. If sentenced under this provision, an offender can be jailed for up to 20 years and fined or caned."

Ian was the victim's mentor in the acting school, and it's arguable that he was in a relationship exploitative of the victim, which would have earned him a good caning.

the law so strange (and specific) to cover below 14yo, 14-16yo and I believe, above 16yo. Why age 15 so special?

Fang Weijie
13 December 1989 (age 35)
born, Shanghai, China

What will happen to the verdict if he is a local-born Sinkie?

Because perpetrator is Chinese and the act of sexual abusing women is part of Chinese culture and tradition. In fact the girl should not have complained to authorities but accept her fate.judge took all. These into consideration.
So no rotan.

Romeo and Juliet exemption

Specifically, it lets professionals refrain from reporting consensual sexual activity between older teenagers when they believe there is no abuse or exploitation at play - it is basically a Romeo and Juliet exemption.

"...The exemption is not about condoning under-age sex, it is about proportionality."

 

[jurongkechil]

Wow...

I would say that Fang is 80% at fault whilst that tempting girl is also 20% at fault. Come on, at 15 years old, she is already menstruating and will know what are the consequences of a sexual relationship. Tell her and her parents not to act ignorant and naive. It will always take 2 hands to clap, willing giver, willing taker.

One cunt tree Duo Systems, u heard before?

The law pretends that men are in full control of their sexual urges and whenever they are hit by female pheromones they can tell their lanjiaos not to erect, flaccdians excepted.

The law must start recognizing that it's women who control the reaction of men's lanjiaos. A man cannot prevent his lanjiao from getting hard when he is aroused by the sight of a young sexy woman. That is not to say that because he cannot control his lanjiao he can do as his lanjiao pleases. The point is responsibility is shared between both sexes, and it's grossly unfair to place the responsibility solely on the man when he is the one who has no control over his erection, while the woman can decide what to wear and how much to reveal.
