</td></tr></tbody></table>AFTER having had sex with a man several times, an underage girl filed a police report against him. And even though karaoke lounge employee Kang Boon Khoon knew he was being investigated for having sex with an underage girl, the two had sex again in his flat five days after the report was made.
The pair met online in 2006 and hit it off. Kang told her he was 22, when he was actually 26 then, more than a decade older than she was. On Tuesday, he was given a six-month jail term for having sex with a minor below 16 on two occasions in 2007. Three other similar charges involving the girl were taken into consideration in his sentencing. Kang was separately jailed a day and fined $2,000 for stealing liquor from his place of work in 2006.
The court heard that he and the girl corresponded online for three months from August 2006 before their first face-to-face meeting. Their first date was at K-Box Karaoke Lounge in Orchard Cineleisure, where he worked. Two days later, they checked into an East Coast Park chalet, where they had sex.
In January the following year, the girl lodged a police report against him, stating that she had had sex with him on several occasions. But less than a week after this, she again had sex with him - this time in his Tampines flat - and this was after Kang became aware that she had made the report.
