Based on her official website, the Singapore student had knowingly prostituted herself out of her own freewill although she is underage.
Which customer would actually ask how old is the girl when it was already mentioned in the website that she is 18 years old (above the legal age)?
Obviously, she and the pimp had lied and cheated the customers that caused them to commit an offence unknowingly.
Write the concerned public: "It is not as if this is a case of human trafficking where the woman is forced to serve men because she has no choice."
They urge the government to charge the girl, so that it will send a clear signal to underage call girls that they will be punished if they sell themselves below the legal age.
"Only this will curb such cases from happening again," they say. "The loophole in the current law will not deter underage girls from selling themselves as there is no recuperssion on their action. This puts the customers at risk especially if the girl lie or look much older than she actually is."
Howard Shaw, 41, recently appeared on the cover of a high-society magazine with his wife in an article about enduring love stories.
On Wednesday, he was charged for paying for sex with an underage girl.
According to The Straits Times, Shaw and his wife Jessie Xue were married in November 2011 after a six year courtship.
They met during a Miss Earth pageant where he was training and judging contestants.
The New Paper said he was attracted to her intelligent replies during the question-and-answer segment. In turn, she was struck by his gentle nature.
Xue, 26, appeared to be a source of comfort to Shaw while he was in court, tapping his hand gently and lovingly with her fingers.
He also rested his head on her shoulder before the court proceedings.
She left quietly by herself after Shaw was charged.
He faces one charge of paying the underage prostitute S$500 for sex on Oct 30, 2010 at Hotel 81 Bencoolen on Bencoolen Street. His case will be heard on June 18.
She told The Straits Times she was "very sad" about the whole affair but declined to comment further.
