A year-old man in Singapore recently received a month jail sentence for engaging in a sexual act with a minor. The incident, which took place on December 6, , involved a year-old girl and occurred during the school holidays, according to a Singaporean newspaper.
According a report by The Straits Times, the girl was seeking a quiet place to attend an online meeting with her school counsellor, while Subramaniam Thaburan Rangasamy, a first warrant officer with the Singapore Armed Forces, was preparing to leave for work on his motorcycle. After the girl accidentally fell and hit a door, Subramaniam came to her aid. In gratitude, she brought him a can of chrysanthemum tea, leading to a conversation between them on the staircase of the parking lot, the report said.

The encounter escalated to a point where they became intimate; the girl performed a sex act on Subramaniam, who also attempted a sexual act on her. Following the incident, they exchanged contact information and communicated via WhatsApp, although their messages were not sexually explicit. Two days later, on December 8, , the girl filed a police report feeling that Subramaniam had exploited her, The Straits Times reported.
