SINGAPORE – He owned a Twitter account containing sexually explicit material and made 816 obscene videos for sale.
Khairy, 30, was sentenced to six months and six weeks’ jail on Friday. He had pleaded guilty to being in possession of child pornography, among other offences.He got consent from fellow app users to film their sexual activities and post the videos on his Twitter account.Deputy Public Prosecutor Yvonne Poon said: “The accused branded his videos with the identifier that they had been taken at HDB staircases and used that as a primary marketing point.
DPP Poon told the court: “The accused... began to post ‘advertisements’ for users interested in being filmed to communicate with him via Twitter, Telegram or Grindr. He would then film these individuals in HDB block stairwells and various hotel rooms. The manager then came across messages from some members stating that they were engaging in sexual activities with minors below 16 years old.Police raided Khairy’s home about three months later and seized his belongings, including an iPhone, that they later found contained 203 sexually explicit videos of children.
