German businessman gets jail for promoting overseas child sex tours to undercover Singapore police

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news...tours-11880572

SINGAPORE: A German businessman was sentenced to five-and-a-half years' jail on Friday (Sep 6) for promoting commercial sex with minors in the Philippines.

Michael Frank Hartung, 48, had marketed sex tours to undercover police officers in Singapore and had been found guilty in July of two charges of distributing information to promote commercial sex with minors.

He is out on bail pending his appeal against conviction and sentence.

Hartung, a former senior executive at Deutsche Bank, had met with two sets of undercover police officers - first at a Starbucks cafe at Raffles City Shopping Centre in September 2015, then at XI&O pub in Mackenzie Road in April 2016.

He had given the four men - who went by aliases Michael, Jackson, Paul and Frank - information about commercial sex with minors in the Philippines, saying he had access to contacts there who would facilitate arrangements for virgin girls aged between 14 and 16.

He also gave the men advice on the typical challenges faced when taking young girls to city hotels for sex, and suggested solutions.

The prosecution had pushed for at least 70 months' jail, saying that he image Hartung portrayed was "not of a rank amateur but of a connoisseur".

"For budding paedophiles who knew little to nothing about the actual procurement of minors, the accused projected confidence, familiarity and experience," said Deputy Public Prosecutor Marshall Lim.

Defence lawyer Mohamed Niroze Idroos had argued that his client had been “incited” and “instigated” into providing information about commercial sex with minors under 18 in the Philippines.

The prosecution said the sentence imposed by the court would punish Hartung and also serve as "an important signal to the rest of the society ... that Singapore is not a launch pad for paedophiles intending to visit neighbouring countries for commercial sex with minors".

"We must stamp out attempts to violate the innocence of these young children and it begins with meting out appropriate punishments to those who even dare try," he said.

Hey everyone, not really new here but I can share my experience cos I was caught up in an AV raid so I hope I can share with you bros what to do if you ever get caught in this situation.

First time I try Cheong in this dome then suay first time kena already. Lucky I wasn't caught with my pants down doing the deed if not paiseh Sia.

Anyways back to the story I got to the location then okt ask me come up so I went up and proceeded to the room. Wait long2 for about a good 5-10 minutes outside then realized something was off. When I was going up the stairs got this brother also walking down with a camera in his hands. First red light for me but I shrugged it off thinking it was nothing.

Then the door opened then that's when I knew I was f***ed. The officer ask me come in then answer some questions. Got go through my phone and everything check my texts with OKT all. All I can say during this whole "interrogation" inside the room is like sort of informal. I just sit on the bed and tell them everything they ask, nothing more nothing less. Don't tell them things they don't ask you. Then last they Ask me to write a statement of witness as well with my details. The officer there was also nice in telling me what was prohibited and what isn't. Brothels that are not regulated are considered illegal but the people who visit them and the fls won't be charged unless they are underage. Very important point here.

Lastly they let me off and it's been a some time I haven't gotten anything from them so I assume I got off safely? Kind of suay lah first time want to Cheong this dome then kena.

Thanks for sharing with us bro. Apart from taking your phone and scanning it through, did the police took your IC and record down your details too?

The government do not want to openly declare. It is done discreetly for Geylang. This law applies to the society especially to those who thinks that anyone can just start a brothel.

It's a form of discreet control by government agency.

Wah I am also a first timer to cheongiing, long ago (my first and last time) I went for one of the stables, I think there was an oncoming raid also. After my first shot with the girl, she received an sms from the okt saying got police and asking her to run. First timer me kan chiong sia...I just wear my clothes and bolted out of the hotel.

Also the part on visiting hotels and FLs not being charged is new to me, thanks for highlighting.

Cheers

Sorry if have been asked before. Just curious.

What happens to FL if caught will she be confined overnight, phones confiscated and fined etc?

It is very interesting

Re: All you need to know about Offences relating to prostitution under the SG LAW
 

Once again lets be clear, it is not not against the law to patronize FL/ML as long as not underaged and it is a willing buyer/seller agreement. MIB also too busy and not interested to spoil your reputation and family. They want your statement to process their case as you are a witness. However it is not likely they will call you to testify publicly since they have many many statements from others as well. They only want to bust the illegal brothels. Any FL/ML if they have a local PR status or pink IC, they will not be charged, since it is not against the law to be a prostitute. It is only against the law to be the OKT of a group of FLs. For those on social/student or other passes, the MIB usually refer them to Immigration to process them for breach of pass, fine and deport them.

MIB will want to look into your phone to gather proof of the transaction with the OKT so make sure nothing illegal there, and please please stay off drugs.

My modus operandi is that I always bring a clean phone with me when I go out with a second SIM card. Buy a cheap 2nd hand phone for $100 and sign up for a low cost SIM card from the many providers for about $10-20/month. I find Redone quite good since can also roam in JB/KL.

I store my main phone in my bag or leave in the car when I go visit and just make all transactions and bookings on the second phone.

1) Family/friends will not know this number so minimize risk of embarrassment if number gets leaked
2) Although the number is registered to your NRIC, the MIB won't be interested to track you down unless you broke the law
3) In Malaysia, the MMIB may go through your phone to find next of kin to embarrass you, this way no contacts on the phone
4) No family photos on the phone, as sometimes the MIB may give you a judgmental look
5) Learn to do a fast data reset on the phone and you won't lose anything personal should your SO have the habit of peeking into your phone.

Good advice on 2nd phone while other phone remains tucked away.

Thanks for the info. Is it rude to ask for the FL passport to verify age?

Re: All you need to know about Offences relating to prostitution under the SG LAW
 

Prostitution is allowed in Singapore by law. But living off the earnings of a prostitute is an offence.
