A primary school teacher sexually abused eight male pupils in 2001 and 2002 before absconding to Indonesia and remained on the run for 17 years.
During that time, he assumed a new identity and obtained an Indonesian passport under another name. Using his new travel documents, he returned to Singapore 31 times between Jan 8 and Dec 28 in 2015 to visit his family.
The Singaporean was finally caught on Aug 21 last year, when he went to Woodlands East Neighbourhood Police Centre to report the loss of his NRIC.
A district court heard that he had wanted to obtain a replacement card in order to withdraw cash from his Central Provident Fund. The former teacher was arrested after a police officer screened him and found that he was a wanted man.
The man, who is now 56 years old, was sentenced on Friday to 10½ years’ jail after pleading guilty to three counts of molestation and one count of carnal intercourse against the order of nature.
These offences involved four pupils. He also admitted to an offence under the Immigration Act.
