S'pore 'religious influencer' jailed 27 years for sexually abusing 2 boys
The man reportedly abused them after becoming a father figure to them.
A 37-year-old Singaporean religious influencer was sentenced to 27 years and 10 months in prison and 24 canings for sexually abusing two young boys at a mosque. The victims, brothers, were left suicidal and traumatized after the alleged offenses between 2022 and 2023. The man, who was previously married, had a TikTok account where he shared religious content.
Before his arrest, he had been jailed in 2021 for molesting another boy. After his release, he befriended the two brothers, taking on the role of a father figure and religious mentor. He eventually confessed to the crimes under the influence of a djinn, claiming he was not aware of his actions.
