Singapore jails ex-lecturer for showing pornography video to underage boy in lift
- Kenneth Loh Jiahui wanted to ‘tease and arouse’ the 12-year-old and followed him from a bus stop into a lift of a housing block
- He was sentenced to five months and two weeks’ jail
For his actions last year, Loh was sentenced to five months and two weeks’ jail on Tuesday.
He has since been dismissed from the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College East where he worked as a lecturer, teaching students of ages 17 to 25, at the time of his offence.
He earlier pleaded guilty to intentionally causing the underage victim to observe a sexual image for the purpose of causing alarm. The victim cannot be named due to a gag order to protect his identity.
The court heard that Loh was making a delivery in Pasir Ris on the evening of June 8, 2023, when he noticed the victim at a bus stop along Pasir Ris Street 21.
Loh saw that he was small-sized. He decided to “tease and arouse” the boy – whom he viewed as an “easy target” – and elicit a reaction from him, the court further heard.
