SINGAPORE — A certain religious organisation's council member, whom the prosecution described as «outwardly pious», committed sexual offences against his friend's son when the child was between 11 and 12 years old.The offender, 66, even recorded a video of himself touching the child's private parts and took more than 40 pictures showing the victim's genitals.Details about the religious organisation have been redacted from court documents.Stressing that the man's conduct was «abhorrent», Deputy Public Prosecutor Dhiraj G. Chainani said: «(He was) so strict in his religiosity that he forbade any females from staying the night in his home.»Yet, behind closed doors, he revealed a markedly different self — a man driven by perverse intent, who consumed child pornography involving young males before turning his predatory attention to a young child who trusted him."The man, who cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the victim's identity, was sentenced to 13 years and three months' jail on Sept 16.
