Gill Gurjant Singh (25) and Surjeet Singh (29) were each sentenced to 15 months' jail on Tuesday, Straits Times reported. Third accused Jugraj Singh (33) was sentenced to 8 months jail for committing an indecent act with a minor.
Gurjant and Surjeet had sex with a 13-year-old girl in May 2016. The duo met the girl on May 1 in Little India, a little Indian enclave in Singapore. The girl was hanging out there with her friends.
Gurjant went to a hotel with the girl and where they stayed together in a room. The next morning the girl met Surjeet again. This time he was with Jugraj. All three of them went to another hotel.
"Gill Gurjant Singh was lying on the same bed on the other side of the victim and witnessed the accused kissing and hugging the victim in the nude before he fell asleep," said Deputy Public Prosecutor Jesintha Veijayaratnam.
The girl’s mother informed the police about her “missing” daughter. The police found about her involvement with the three men during the investigation.
All three accused have been convicted of having consensual sex with a minor. It is illegal in Singapore to have sex with a girl who is below 14 years old.
Another Indian was jailed last year in December. 25-year-old Hari Kumar hired a 16-year-old sex worker. He was sentenced to 10 months’ jail. Read this story here:
