SINGAPORE: Just months after being released from reformative training for a previous sex offence, a 22-year-old man lured a teenager he had met online to a staircase and pressurised her into having sex with him.
Nevertheless, Rojas took the girl to a staircase landing at a multi-storey car park, and asked her again to have sex with him. He also used a similar modus operandi by using the Internet and social media to broaden his pool of victims, and failed to be rehabilitated despite being given probation and reformative training.
"Ultimately my client is sorry for what he's done. He pleaded guilty and saved the court time, and saved the victim the trauma of testifying."District Judge Bay noted that the victim had been left with"significant psychological and emotional scars following this illicit and perverse interaction".
Very... Sad

Thief broke into building to steal a carrot and two keys, gets caning and corrective trainingSINGAPORE: A recalcitrant thief who has been offending since he was 16 was sentenced to five years' corrective training and six strokes of the ... In 29 years, he has committed 11 similar offences and has been sentenced previously to probation and jail. The most recent offence was attempted house-breaking by night, which Affendi was given seven years' jail and six strokes of the cane for. The penalty for house-trespass by night to commit theft is a jail term of between two and 14 years, and a fine. As Affendi had previously been convicted of a similar offence, he was liable for caning. A report found Affendi suitable for corrective training, a long period of incarceration without remission for repeat offenders. The defence asked for five years' jail, but the prosecutor pushed for at least five years' corrective training and six strokes of the cane.
