Ex-primary school teacher gets 2 weeks' jail for possessing 7,786 obscene videos, including child pornography
A former primary school teacher was sentenced to two weeks’ jail by a district court on Friday (Dec 9) for possessing 7,786 obscene videos, of which 131 had child pornographic content.
Loh Wei Qi, a 36-year-old Singaporean, pleaded guilty to a single charge related to the possession of the videos.
Another charge related to the distribution of obscene videos was taken into consideration for his sentencing.
The court heard that Loh’s offences were uncovered on April 16, 2019 when the Singapore police received a tip-off from the branch of Interpol in Ottawa, Canada.
Interpol said that a Singapore IP address had been linked to a possible transmission of child sexual abuse material through the mobile messaging application “Kik”.
