If you cane a BDSM pimp, is it considered punishment?

A 24-year-old man has been jailed for four years and fined S$2,000 on Dec. 1 after pleading guilty to 20 charges consisting of eight distinct crimes that broke four separate laws in Singapore, according to The Straits Times.

Wong Jun Siang, who is unemployed, was, however, not sentenced to caning by District Judge Jasvender Kaur.

Why this is so will be clear if you continue reading.

The court heard he had pimped a group of six women, aged between 17 and 22, to provide services that included bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism (BDSM).

The BDSM services comprised of caning, trampling on client's private parts, getting clients to act as dogs and face-slapping.

He also sold soiled sanitary pads, bras, panties and socks belonging to the women.

His vice operation was advertised on online forums and websites.

He would take a 20 to 30 percent cut of the fees paid by customers.

 

Multi-tasker

Overall, his wide range of offences over 18 months included arranging a sham marriage, procuring a woman for the purpose of prostitution, living on the earnings of prostitution, recruiting a child for sexual exploitation, theft, criminal breach of trust, and cheating.

Wong also married a Vietnamese woman in return for S$5,000 from a Singaporean man.

He later falsely declared to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority that the Vietnamese woman was staying with him, so that she could get a Visit Pass.

Wong and the man he took money from for marrying the Vietnamese woman also got into relationships with two of the 19-year-olds in his vice ring.

Wong also stole US$7,000 (S$10,011) from his girlfriend's father.

He also arranged a sham marriage for another Vietnamese woman.

Therefore, not caning him is the best punishment.
