Paedophile jailed four years eight months, fined $8k
Singaporean paedophile, Chan Chun Hong, was today jailed 56 months and fined $8,000 after earlier pleading guilty to 12 child pornography and child sex-related charges.
He had admitted to seven counts of electronically distributing child pornography, three counts of promoting commercial sex with a minor outside Singapore, and one count each of facilitating commercial sex with a minor outside Singapore and possession of obscene films.
Chan is the first person here to be convicted of organising a commercial sex tour overseas.
He was nabbed when Singapore police, acting on a tip-off from America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation , launched a sting operation.
An undercover cop posed as someone interested in a sex tour in Cambodia, and Chan offered to make arrangements for the man.
