Apparently the Singapore Police have some opinions on Motion #3 on Facebook.
From [ http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1036102/1/.html ] :
“In its annual crime brief, Police said there were 83 statutory rape cases involving females under 14 years of age last year. This was a 36 per cent increase from the 61 cases in 2008. (…)
Police said the widespread use of social-networking websites among youths may be one reason why the cases have increased. Such websites may expose youths to situations that lead to statutory rape.”
Interesting. Thoughts?
