Prosecution seeks jail time for former radio DJ Dee Kosh, says YouTube video about his case was sub judice

SINGAPORE: The prosecution is seeking five to eight months' jail for former radio disc jockey Dee Kosh, who has admitted to sexual offences involving two teenage boys.

Two of the victims were underaged at the time. Kosh, 33, also secretly filmed himself having sex with the third victim, then aged 23 to 25.to attempting to procure an indecent act from a young person, communicating with a minor to obtain sexual services and making an obscene film.The court had ordered Kosh to undergo a psychiatric examination at the Institute of Mental Health to assess whether he has a paedophilic disorder and his risk of reoffending.

Calling this explanation"fanciful" and"an afterthought designed to mislead", the prosecutor retorted that Kosh had"no qualms" about flirting with boys he met on social media, and that this was not discreet behaviour.In doing so, she referred to a more than nine minute-long video that Kosh posted on YouTube on Jan 26.

He argued that his client was remorseful, and read out other extracts from the video transcript in which Kosh said he had made"terrible mistakes". Power 98 has said that Kosh was suspended since being charged in August last year. Before that, he was placed on no-pay leave pending investigations. He approached A2 and was later put in touch with him through social media. They communicated over WhatsApp, with A2 informing Kosh that he was under 18.

Kosh asked A2 for a shirtless picture so that he could"blackmail" him if he talked. A2 did not send the photo, but assured Kosh that he would not talk. They started chatting and Kosh invited A3 to his home. The victim agreed as he thought it might lead to a recruitment opportunity at Kosh's production company.

None of the victims reported the offences to the police immediately, as each thought he was the only victim and was afraid of going against"a celebrity with a large following", said the prosecutor.
