S'porean man, 27, to be jailed & caned for extorting money & sexual favours from 16-year-old girl

A 27-year-old man who exploited an underaged girl for sexual services, then extorted money from her when she backed out of a "sugar daddy" arrangement with him, has been sentenced to jail and caning.

Marc Justine Landrio Chandramohan, a Singaporean, was charged on Jun. 6, 2025 on seven different charges, three of which involved other parties besides the girl.

The charges are: communicating with another person for the purposes of obtaining commercial sex, abetting by distributing obscene images and video, extortion, cheating, making obscene films, and abetting by intentionally aiding a person to knowingly cause a computer to perform a function without authority.

For his offences, Chandramohan will face 2 years, 11 months and 10 weeks in jail, as well as three strokes of the cane.

Coerced first victim to perform sexual act under fake threat of legal action

According to court documents seen by Mothership, Chandramohan met the victim, then a 16-year-old student, via Instagram, after which they communicated frequently on messaging platforms WhatsApp and Telegram.

He offered her a lump sum of S$900 in exchange for sexual favours in a "sugar daddy" arrangement.

The victim initially agreed to the arrangement as she wanted a source of income, though she stated her discomfort with penetrative sexual acts.

In July 2021, the victim sent four different photographs of herself in various degrees of nudity to Chandramohan on Telegram, as well as a video of herself removing her school uniform.

Chandramohan then paid her S$100 electronically, allegedly for the photos and video.

The victim then regretted the agreement and told Chandramohan via text that she did not want to continue this, she then deleted the chat and blocked him on Jul. 25, 2021.

She was eventually contacted by Chandramohan again, asking her to return the S$100.

When the victim stated that she was unable to pay the money back immediately, Chandramohan told her that he would take legal action unless she met him and paid the money back on the same day.

The victim later asked a friend to transfer S$100 to Chandramohan on her behalf, but met him regardless.

Chandramohan then coerced her into going back to the original arrangement, or "he would take legal action against her", after which she relented by performing a sexual act on him.

The victim was instructed not to disclose the incident to anyone, and to wait "two to three weeks" for a PDF document she had to sign in order for Chandramohan to discontinue legal proceedings against her.

On Apr. 26, 2022, Chandramohan again contacted the victim asking her to pay him half the legal fees he supposedly owed his lawyer, after claiming that he had already sent her the PDF despite the victim denying receiving it.

The "legal fees" was stated by Chandramohan to be S$2,700.

He deceived the victim into believing that he had commenced legal proceedings against her and that payment was required to enable the lawsuit against her to be closed.

“You can go back to what you did when you were broke”

The victim was unable to pay the demanded sum of S$1,350 at once, but her request to do so in instalments was denied by Chandramohan.

“You can go back to what you did when you were broke”, he told her, suggesting she give him sexual favours instead.

Chandramohan continued coercing her to "find another way [to] make it up [to him]" even after she forked up S$500, according to court documents.

The incident only came to light after the victim consulted her friends, who suggested Chandramohan was likely to be lying.

She then requested Chandramohan produce evidence of legal documentation and made a police report on Apr. 28, 2022.

Filmed obscene scenes with two other victims

Chandramohan also faces two charges of making obscene films with a second and third female victim.

One of the victims, who was 21-years-old at the time of the offence, was in a relationship with Chandramohan in 2020.

On Nov. 27, 2020, the victim was coerced by Chandramohan into performing a sexual act on him in his bedroom at his home.

He filmed the act on his phone during the process, during which sensitive parts of her body were captured in the video.

The other victim was 16-years-old in 2021, during which she was also in a romantic relationship with Chandramohan.

The victim was similarly filmed by Chandramohan performing a sexual act on him on Apr. 1, 2021, wherein her face and naked body were caught on film.

The videos involving both victims were found by the police upon Chandramohan's arrest in relation to the first victim's case.

All three victims cannot be named due to a gag order.

Relinquished control of his bank account to another party

The seventh charge involved Chandramohan illegally relinquishing control of his bank account to a co-accused and Chandramohan's friend, Edwin Yeo, in a bid to "make fast cash".

Chandramohan was instructed by Yeo to open a Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) account on Feb. 20, 2023, after which he provided Yeo with details of the account and was paid S$330 from Yeo.

According to the court documents, this allowed unknown persons to knowingly cause the SCB computer to perform a function for the purpose of securing access to SCB's banking services under Chandramohan's account, which the unknown persons are not authorised to access.

Investigations revealed that a total of about S$304,818 flowed through the SCB account.

The account has since been frozen.

"Proclivity for criminal acts and abject lack of remorse"

For Chandramohan's offences, Deputy Public Prosecutors Melissa Heng and Adelle Tai called him "a predator of young and naive victims".

"His exploitation of the first victim is particularly egregious", they said.

The duration of offending across two and a half years demonstrated his proclivity for criminal acts and "abject lack of remorse for his past offences", Heng and Tai said.
