Foreign workers caught moonlighting as sex workers
EVERYBODY has heard about women from China soliciting for sex in the red-light district at Geylang and at massage parlours.
But a different form of the crime is also taking place in Little India, this time involving men.
Tonight, Get Rea! — Channel NewsAsia's current affairs programme — kicks off its fifth season with an exclusive report on the male foreign workers involved in such activities at the heart of Serangoon Road. A lot of the action is said to take place near popular shopping areas.
Get Rea! went undercover to see if the story was true. Its undercover agent, Sam, approached some of these men, known on the street as $50 men. One asked him whether he wanted to go and have sex in a room for $50.
Eventually, Sam struck a "deal" with the man for $45. The man told Sam he was a construction worker by day.
According to sources, some of these men are unaware that what they are doing is against the law, although several have already been caught.
From June to August, more than 10 men — including foreigners — have been caught and charged with soliciting in the Little India area.
If convicted of soliciting in a public place, they face a fine of up to $2,000, a jail term of up to six months, or both.
