SINGAPORE: A tutor who sought other men on social media applications for sexual activities preyed on minors instead, meeting a 13-year-old boy on Grindr and persuading a 15-year-old boy into"experimenting" with him.
In April 2018, Chock got to know the first victim, a 13-year-old boy, on Grindr. The victim told Chock he was a Primary 6 student, and Chock requested to meet up for sexual activities. Because Chock had asked the boy for Higher Chinese test papers during their first encounter, the boy felt annoyed and blocked him after their second meeting, the prosecutors said.Chock began preying on a second boy, aged 15, who had posted an advertisement on Locanto saying he was looking for women. Chock responded to his ad, and they began texting, but the boy said he was not interested as he was not homosexual.
Chock gave the boy some cash, which was less than what they had agreed on, before leaving. After this, Chock kept pestering the teen to meet again for sexual activities. When the boy said he was not interested, Chock persuaded him by telling him the"feeling would change", and promised him cash. Deputy Public Prosecutor Chin Jincheng told the court that Chock had previous brushes with the law. He was convicted in 2010 of procuring obscene or indecent acts with a child or young person, and in 2014 of sexual penetration of a minor, among other acts.
