'Additional discovery' reviewed as Amos Yee remanded by US court on child porn charges

The public defender - a lawyer employed by the state in a criminal trial to represent a defendant who is unable to afford legal assistance - said he needed to visit Yee in remand to go over some matters with him.

“We did get an additional discovery that I was able to review and I need to go over that with Mr Yee. But I do believe we will likely have a disposition to this matter,” said lawyer Ali Ammoura, without specifying what the discovery was.Yee is set to come before the court again on Jun 2, when a disposition is expected. A disposition is a court’s final determination in a criminal charge.He was arrested by US Marshals on Oct 14, 2020 at his apartment in Chicago’s Norwood Park East neighbourhood.

Police have charged him with child pornography and grooming, alleging that he exchanged nude photos with a 14-year-old Texas girl via WhatsApp.The alleged incidents took place in 2019 between Feb 1 and Jun 30, and involved thousands of texts. When their relationship soured, the girl reached out to a group of people “interested in exposing paedophiles”, the court previously heard.If found guilty, Yee could lose his asylum status and be deported back to Singapore.

In 2015, Yee was jailed in Singapore for wounding religious feelings by making remarks about Christians. About a year later, Yee was jailed again and fined on a similar charge, this time for making remarks about Christians and Muslims. In 2017, Yee was granted asylum in the US by a US immigration court, despite opposition from the Department of Homeland Security.

tiotheo01 Can't wait for him to be sentenced to years in federal 'pound me in the ass' prison.
