Teen gets probation for oral sex with girl

An unemployed youth who has borderline intelligence was sentenced to 21 months' probation on Tuesday for making a 14-year-old girl perform oral sex on him about four years ago.

The 17-year-old was 14 at the time of the offence at a staircase landing in Bukit Batok West Avenue 6 in March or April 2008. He cannot be named as there is a gag order.

A Community Court heard that he, his three male friends then aged 12 to 15, the victim and her female friend, then 15, used to hang out at HDB void decks in Bukit Batok after school to chat and spend time together.

The accused's accomplice, the 14-year-old, used to frequent a Chinese temple and allegedly saw people possessed by 'Chinese gods'.

He told his friends about what he had seen at the temple during the Chinese New Year in February 2008.

When he heard that the 12-year-old's efforts to befriend the victim had been rejected, the 14-year-old hatched a plan.

He suggested to the trio that they trick the victim by pretending to be possessed to make her listen to them and do their bidding.
