Singapore citizens have expressed outrage over the 4 year sentencing a U.S Mixed Martial Arts instructor received for sexual relations with a minor.
BBC reports, “Joshua Robinson, 39, was jailed for four years last week for having sex with two teenage girls and filming the acts.”
Robinson, who has been living in Singapore for 6 years, is a well known MMA instructor. In 2015, he met a 15 year old girl on a dating app and after several months of talking, they met and went back to his apartment where they indulged in sexual intercourse. Robinson filmed the act without the young girls’ knowledge.
Upon discovering the video, the girl reported his actions to the police.
A raid of Robinson’s flat led to the discovery of thousands of pornographic movies including footage of the instructor with another 15 year old girl.
He pleaded guilty to nine charges including: three counts of sex with a minor under 16 and one for showing an obscene film to a six-year-old girl, which he did while out on bail.
Robinson was given four years in prison.
Many have slammed the sentencing calling it “absurd” and “infuriating”.
Singaporean Michael Liew Khong posted in a comment on Channel News Asia’s Facebook page, “A four year sentence for a paedophile? What kind of laws do we have here? It’s never about the nationality but the seriousness of the crime.”
Another Chiaming Cho agreed. “This isn’t an issue about locals versus foreigners. This is about a tough enough sentence to deter would-be offenders for a crime that may have lasting effects of a lifetime.”
However, the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) stuck to its decision and stressed that Robinson had been convicted of neither sexual assault nor statutory rape, as the girls were above the age of 14 and had consented reports BBC.
