SINGAPORE - A man who had sex with an underage girl on multiple occasions and impregnated her was sentenced to 18 months' jail on Friday (July 16).
Muhammad Hafiz Sapeh, 33, a deliveryman, was also convicted - and given a further five months in jail - for assaulting a 26-year-old woman, his then girlfriend, in 2017.
The court heard that he first had sex with the underage girl in 2015 when she was 14 and he was 27.
She got pregnant in 2017 and later gave birth.
District Judge Marvin Bay noted that Muhammad Hafiz had pleaded guilty, which saved the two victims from having to testify during a trial.
However, "offences involving the sexual exploitation of children create the deepest level of disquiet, as children and young persons... are vulnerable (and) should receive the fullest protection of the law"
