The one that got away
40+ clients and a pimp(I assume all are men?) have gotten into hot soup for a paid rendezvous with "minor". They have all been shamed before even proven guilty. So, no matter the verdict, they have been punished. At the same time, there is a gag order to protect the identity of the minor. Am I the only one to see that we are overly eager to judge men, while being too protective of the fairer gender?
When do I grow up?
The age of majority in Singapore is 21years.
By age 12 my daughter has to pay adult fare; by 16.5 my son can kill for his country, by 18 both my children can buy cigarettes. BUT.... only at 21, can they vote for their government and watch naked bodies in the cinemas. The logic is flawed? Yes, the law deems that the case involves a minor but is it right that 21years is the age of majority?
Who can judge me?
I am afraid that we judge the guys morally rather than judicially.
Question: What is their moral crime?
1)Paying for sex?
2)Paying for sex with a minor?
3)Paying for sex with a minor with stil being married? (some of them)
4)Paying for sex while being a civil servant?
Which of these 4 is the worst? any more to add?

In cases like this the men are always going to be receiving the short end of the stick.
We can't police nor judge based on morality, else we're like Iran.
He is a poor victim too. Hope his marriage will survive this.
Please... he is not a victim... if the accusation is true.. even if he didn't know her age, it makes him a cheater at best.
