Former teacher charged over sexual communication with male student
The man allegedly sent the student one-time-view images of a male person in his underwear.
A former teacher in Singapore has been charged with sending sexual messages to a 16-year-old male student and possessing obscene videos, according to court documents. The 41-year-old cannot be named due to a court-imposed gag order. In December 2024, the man allegedly sent four images to the student, including one showing a man in his underwear and another with the man's genitals.
Later, between February and August 2025, the teacher downloaded 21 obscene videos from the Telegram app. The Ministry of Education (MOE) suspended the man from teaching immediately and will not hesitate to take further disciplinary action against staff misconduct. Offenders of sexual communication with someone aged 16-18 can face up to two years in jail or a fine, while possessing obscene films can result in up to six months in jail or a fine of up to S$20,000.
