SINGAPORE — After running away from a welfare home, a 16-year-old girl found herself living with an older woman whom she looked upon as a mother figure.

However, the older woman abused this position of trust when she exploited the minor by advertising her sexual services online, which resulted in the teenager providing such services to five or six men a day on average.She had pleaded guilty in a district court on Monday to five charges:

The girl began residing in the woman’s flat from September onwards with a few other women, who all called the accused “mama” because she looked after them by providing daily necessities such as food. Once a meetup between the minor and the customer had been arranged, the accused would accompany the girl to fulfill her services at various locations around Singapore that included hotels and a public housing flat.

She would then hand over the earnings to the accused. The woman would return a portion of the earnings to the girl as an allowance and use the rest to buy food and pay for bills. Court documents stated that the accused had not only left her home “without reasonable excuse”, but was also not wearing a face mask.
