SINGAPORE: A teacher of a school has been charged with having consensual sex with one of his students who is underaged.
The teacher cannot be named to protect the 15-year-old girl's identity.
The 25-year-old co-form teacher allegedly had sex with the girl in a Woodlands flat in May and June this year.
The Education Ministry has since suspended him.
The slim, bespectacled teacher turned up in court on Monday in a white long-sleeved shirt with dark coloured trousers. He looked calm as he stood in the dock.
The teacher is now out on a bail of S$10,000.
His pre-trial conference will be held on December 27.
If convicted of the offence, he can be jailed up to ten years, fined or both.
