In Singapore, a former teacher was imprisoned for allegedly showing a boy student, age 12, a pornographic video. According to a South China Morning Post (SCMP) report, Kenneth Loh Jiahui followed the student into an apartment building's elevator and showed him the pornographic footage last year. He chose to "tease and arouse" the boy because he thought he was a "easy target" and wanted to see how he would respond.
