His identity was made public after reporting restrictions were lifted.
Fang, whose registered name is Fang Wei Jie, pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual penetration of a girl under 16. Three similar charges were taken into consideration for sentencing, along with one count of obstructing justice and one count of stalking.
A gag order remains on the identity of the victim, who was 15 at the time of the offences. The pair met at an entertainment event.
The prosecution, represented by Deputy Public Prosecutor Lynda Lee, applied to have the restrictions on reporting Fang’s identity lifted before District Judge Eddy Tham on Monday.
Fang’s lawyer Noelle Teoh objected to this, arguing that the victim may be identified through Fang’s identity.
