So the Straits Times has just launched its revamp today, July 1st 2015.
Besides possibly contributing to broken links as well as to 2 different versions of the same story, one of which leaves out a crucial detail, we now also have tags (well, if we had them before I didn't notice it).
(incidentally, the broken link is supposed to go to one of the 2 stories)
And there is this tag called SEXUAL PENETRATION OF A MINOR.
So now it is easy to keep track of (almost) all the underaged sex stories in Singapore!
I say (almost) all because weird cases like causing a minor to have sex (the photographer who unknowingly hired a 15 year old boy to have sex with a female model) get other tags.
Like "threesome".

39-year-old jailed for sex with underage girl
"Sachin Pravin Dere was jailed for 20 months after pleading guilty to three of five counts of sex with a girl aged below 16...
He asked how old she was as he felt that she looked very young. She told him she was 16.
He also asked if she had had sex before and she said she had not.
After sex, he asked her to follow him to the bathroom where he sexually abused her before she said she wanted to stop...
Deputy Public Prosecutor Delicia Tan said Dere knew that the victim was a virgin, yet that did not stop him from exploiting her for his sexual gratification."
So once again the moral of the story is: "ask a girl for her IC before you have sex with her". Though of course if her ID is fake you're still criminally culpable.
And apparently in Singapore you're not supposed to "exploit" virgins who tell you they are 16 for "sexual gratification".
Or even better, you're not supposed to have sex with virgins since that is "exploiting"?
