8th man convicted of sex involving Vietnamese minors

A man was sentenced to six months' jail on Friday after he was convicted of having paid sex with an underaged Vietnamese prostitute.

Loy Hee Cheng, 69, a father of three, was found guilty of paying $100 for the sexual services of the 17-year-old girl at an office in Golden Mile Complex, Beach Road, sometime in March, 2011.

He is the eighth man to have been sentenced over sex with underaged Vietnamese girls. The cases against three others are pending.

The victim had testified that a week after her arrival, a pimp took her to a waiting pick-up driven by Loy.
