SINGAPORE: Singapore is moving to ensure that consensual and private sending of obscene objects depicting adults will not be criminalised.

Under a suite of proposed changes to the country’s criminal law, enhanced penalties will also apply to cases of obscene objects showing minors under 18 years old, up from the current 16.

This is to better protect minors and align with international conventions on child pornography, said the Ministry of Home Affairs in a press release on Tuesday (Oct 14).

The ministry also clarified that non-consensual sending of obscene material; along with those depicting minors under 16 or minors under 18 in an exploitative relationship with the offender, remain criminalised.

The Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill was introduced in parliament on Tuesday by Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs Sim Ann. It aims to rationalise and update Singapore’s criminal laws, including the Penal Code and other legislation.

“It builds on previous amendments to the Penal Code in 2019 and 2021, which, amongst others, enhanced protection for vulnerable victims, introduced new offences to tackle emerging crime trends and calibrated the scope of and penalties for existing offences,” said MHA.
