Warning: This article contains descriptions of sexual violence that some readers may find distressing. Viewer discretion is advised.
An unemployed Malaysian man living in Malaysia with his wife and children posed as multiple characters in a ploy to ensnare three Singapore-based women to engage in sadistic sex with him.
On Jan. 13, 2026, Rajwant Singh Gill Narajan Singh, 38, was sentenced to 12 years' jail and 15 strokes of the cane for crimes involving two of the women.
Gill was previously sentenced to four and a half years' imprisonment for offences regarding the third woman, reported The Straits Times.
According to court documents seen by Mothership, Gill would blackmail and extort the victims, threatening to upload the acts online or send them to families and employers.
The prosecution's address called Gill’s conduct "depraved, sadistic, & malicious".
One of the victims was extorted out of S$185,334, leaving her S$180,000 in debt.
Gill's remaining 35 charges involving 13 other victims will be dealt with at a later date.
Gill played two main personas, the first was a wealthy Caucasian "sugar daddy" named "Michael Nolan", "Mike" or "Thomas".
He pretended to be an "American trader living on a yacht in Lumut, Perak, Malaysia".
The second persona was that of "Sam" or "Raj", a driver who utilised a "soft" and good-natured personality to appeal to the victims on compassionate grounds.
Often, "Sam" would offer his help to victims in the extortion process by pretending to settle the debts enforced by "Mike" as a form of goodwill.
He used both personas to coerce the victims into "demeaning and intrusive sexual acts for his pleasure" and to assess whether to threaten or comfort them in the extortion process.
He would scout for victims on Tinder before offering the "paid" arrangements, which established a "dominant-submissive relationship" from the start.
Gill deceived the victims into believing that he would pay large sums of money, which he never intended to pay.
He would instruct the victims to send nude photographs and explicit videos of themselves to blackmail them and coerce them to have sexual intercourse with "Sam".
The prosecution's address noted that Gill treated "the vulnerable victims with outright malice".
In court documents, the victims were identified as PW1, PW2 and V3.
PW1 and PW2 met Gill sometime in 2020, and met V3 in early May 2019.
Neither PW1 nor PW2 had ever engaged in paid sexual services before meeting Gill.
PW2 suffered immense physical abuse; court documents stated that Gill had engaged "a dominatrix to flog her, causing severe pain and numerous open wounds".
Gill told V3 that he would pay her US$20,000 (S$25,760) a month to be his girlfriend.
On Jun. 2, 2019, V3 arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia and met Gill under the guise of "Sam", the driver who was supposed to ferry her to Perak.
In the car to Perak, "Michael" would text and instruct V3 to film herself having sex with "Sam".
V3 refused, and "Sam" told V3 that "Michael" had ordered him to drop her off.
For around five hours, "Michael" threatened to send V3's explicit photos to her family and employer unless she followed his instructions and paid him US$14,000 (S$18,000) .
V3 had sex with "Sam" and attempted to record the act but "Sam" comforted V3, stating that he would help her.
Following discussions with "Michael", V3 paid him S$3,000 while "Sam" played by Gill "helped" her to pay the remaining amount to "Michael" .
V3 continued contact with "Sam" and was deceived into thinking that "Sam" was acting out of goodwill.
Out of feelings of indebtedness to "Sam", V3 transferred a further S$3,000 and S$1,000 to "Sam".
In total, V3 transferred S$7,000 to Gill through his two personas, and he has not made restitution.
On Nov. 27, 2025, Gill was convicted and sentenced to four-and-a-half years' jail and ordered to pay S$7,000 after pleading guilty to the two cheating charges related to V3.
Gill repeated the same modus operandi on PW1 and PW2.
He met PW1 while posing as "Thomas" and PW2 as "Mike".
He offered PW1 US$10,000 (S$12,882) and PW2 US$30,000 (S$38,648).
Gill used the same tactic to force the women into sex with his driver persona and extort money from them.
On Jan. 27, 2020, PW1 engaged in sexual intercourse with "Sam" and recorded the encounter.
"Thomas" told PW1 to stay with "Sam" for another night, but she refused.
"Thomas" proceeded with threats to disseminate her videos to her LinkedIn connections.
PW1 feared for her reputation and the possibility that she could lose her employment pass in Singapore.
Gill, under the guise of "Thomas", threatened PW1 and told her she needed to pay him S$2,750 instead of conceding to his demands PW1 filed a police report on Jan. 28, 2020.
On Feb. 28, 2020, PW2 flew to Penang, Malaysia, to meet "Mike" and receive her payment and was picked up by "Raj".
Subsequent evidence showed that PW2 had gone to great lengths to prevent her videos from being disseminated.
Prior to the arrangement, PW2 had sent "Mike" 73 photos and 164 videos that were suggestive or sexually explicit in nature.
The victims endured and suffered severe and lasting psychological harm.
PW1, a 31-year-old woman, was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and had to defer her education and tell her parents, university and employer about the incident.
PW2, a 32-year-old woman, has left Singapore, as even "mundane acts in Singapore triggered flashbacks of the traumatic events perpetrated by the accused".
PW2 was heavily extorted by Gill, who blackmailed and demanded S$185,334.25 from her.
PW2 emptied her own bank account and took bank loans to meet Gill's demands, and she remains in debt to this day.
PW2 was also forced to prostitute herself to earn money for Gill under his threat of releasing her explicit media.
V3, a 52-year-old woman, has also left Singapore to restart her life elsewhere.
All three victims became withdrawn, anxious and depressed after their experiences with Gill and were fearful of the moral stigma, "having been cheated and sexually exploited in the context of a paid sexual relationship".
Deputy Public Prosecutor Jeremy Bin stated that Gill's offences were at the highest end of harm, highly premeditated and difficult to detect.
Gill made baseless claims and "claimed trial to the bitter end", forcing victims to relive their trauma.
He ensured that his offences were harder to detect by acting across national borders and by moving conversations from Tinder to WhatsApp, an end-to-end encrypted service.
Gill was arrested in a joint covert operation between the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Royal Malaysian Police Force (PDRM) and "significant resources were utilised in carrying out this operation".
