The intellectually disabled student at a special school in the east was 17 when he met Christian Bora Ganapathi, then 19.
They struck up a friendship and spoke regularly on the phone.
Between August and September 2010, there were at least five occasions where Ganapathi tried to masturbate the boy or perform oral sex on him.
The sixth time they met, he tried to have sex with him but stopped when the boy said it was painful.
Ganapathi, now 22, yesterday pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault by penetration. Another four charges of using criminal force with intention to outrage modesty will be taken into consideration during sentencing.
On each of the charges proceeded with, he faces up to 10 years in jail, caning and a fine.
