A Disturbing Relationship Unearthed

In a shocking legal case in Singapore, a 30-year-old bus driver has been sentenced to eight years in prison and subjected to six strokes of the cane for engaging in a relationship with a 13-year-old girl described as a 'bus enthusiast.' The relationship, which began innocently enough, quickly escalated into a series of sexual encounters that have sent shockwaves through the community.

How It All Started

The bus driver, who was 26 at the time of the crime, met the young girl on his route while working for SMRT. The girl, who had a passion for buses, often rode his bus to school. Their paths crossed when she joined an Instagram group dedicated to bus enthusiasts, which ultimately led to them connecting online.

From Innocent Chats to a Dark Encounter

After just a week of chatting on Instagram, the offender asked the girl out on a date. Her feelings for him deepened, and they began spending time together—going 'bus spotting' after his shifts and nurturing a bond that crossed the line into criminal territory. On December 9, 2021, the couple's relationship culminated in a shocking act that would change their lives forever.

The Alarming Discovery

As the relationship progressed, family members began to notice changes in the girl’s behavior. Concerned aunts spoke to her, and she disclosed the nature of her relationship with the driver and the sexual encounters they had in a rented car. Despite their urge to take immediate action, the girl pleaded with them not to report it.

The Truth Finally Comes Out

It wasn't until June 2022, several months later, that the girl decided to take matters into her own hands and reached out to her aunt again—a brave move that finally led to police involvement. Her mother was only informed about the situation a day before the formal report was lodged.
