<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->A TEENAGER who had sex with a 10-year-old girl in late 2007 and early last year was placed on 18 months' probation yesterday.
Xia Yun, 19, who pleaded guilty to two counts of carnal connection, was 17 when he had sex with the girl in his Woodlands home on Nov 9, 2007.
When they had sex again a few weeks later, she had turned 11.
Two other similar charges were taken into consideration.
He was in court with his parents, who signed a bond of $5,000 to ensure his good behaviour.
A permanent resident, Xia looked relieved after Community Court Judge Soh Tze Bian decided to place him on probation instead of sending him to jail.
Under the probation order, Xia, who is now married with a two-month-old son, has to do 100 hours of community service work.
The girl he had sex with came to know Xia, who is now waiting to be enlisted into national service, in December 2006 when she was surfing a multi-player online gaming website.
They began contacting each other through calls and text messages.
Soon after he sent her a love poem on Valentine's Day of 2007, they became a couple and met often in Tampines.
The girl, who is now 12, went to Xia's sister's barbecue at East Coast Park with him on Nov 8, 2007 and spent the night there.
The next morning, he took her to his flat where they had consensual sex. They had sex again the following month.
The girl's father reported to the police in January last year that she had been molested. She is now staying in a children's home.
Xia could have been jailed for up to five years and fined up to $10,000 on each charge. [email protected]
