Singaporean Found Guilty of Doing Illegal Sex Work was Deported from Australia
ABF released a statement regarding this matter.
She was allegedly a student who had overstayed her visa and was partaking in illegal sex work.
More specifically, shwas found guilty on state charges of engaging in prostitution, knowingly participating in the provision of prostitution by another.
She also supposedly facilitated illegal prostitution, which is also a breach of COVID-19 public health directions.
The woman has been identified as a Singaporean.
ABF Assistant Commissioner Tim Fitzgerald said this incident showed how seriously the force took the facilitation of illegal sex work.
“We work very closely with our partners, including the Australian Federal Police and Queensland Police, to combat the myriad of issues associated with this sort of crime type.”
He said other issues may come hand in hand when illegal prostitution is facilitated.
In addition, a reminder was given that all non-citizens in Australia are required to hold a valid visa for their stay.
It is not known when this woman’s visa had expired, or how long she had been in the country.
The SG Nasi Lemak Case
Unfortunately, illegal sex work and related crimes in Singapore have also been prevalent recently.
Though some are more famous than others.
By now, a lot of people may have heard of the now-defunct ‘SG Nasi Lemak’ Telegram group.
Operating like a “red light district” of Telegram, the chat group with over 44,000 members shared pornographic and lewd images of unsuspecting women, sold vape devices and juices, sexual services, and sexual enhancement drugs.
However, of the many admins of the group, 39-year-old Liong Tianwei was sentenced to a 9-week jail term and a S$26,000 fine.
In the group, he had posted various advertisements for sexual services.
It all started in 2016 after Mr Liong got close to a sex worker from China.
After being introduced to a partner, he began promoting the sexual services from a website.
He would spread them across social media platforms, and eventually inside the Telegram group.
This would see him be paid several hundred dollars per week by different female Chinese nationals.
In total, Mr Liong pleaded guilty to six charges including possession and transmission of obscene material.
The other group admins are still waiting to be sentenced as of March 2021.
