If the girls were reluctant, "Vacinta" would coax them into taking the job, adding there was a "stringent vetting process" as only clients who were "young, non-ugly and rich men", and who had undergone regular health checks were allowed. He had unprotected sexual intercourse with most of the teenagers. He even filmed some of his encounters with them. He also admitted to one count each of making obscene films and having commercial sex with the year-old girl.
The court heard that some time before May , Goh created a Facebook account under the name "Vacinta Koh", who was purportedly below 20 years old - a profile similar to his intended targets. Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Pei Wei said: "Before creating this fake Facebook account, the accused previously attempted to engage girls for sex using several male profiles under different false names but did not receive any response. He therefore decided to use a female profile.
Goh then found young girls on Facebook and sent friend requests to the ones he liked using this fake account. When the girl asked what the job entailed, Goh , as "Vacinta", would inform her that she would need to work as a "part-time girlfriend" or "escort". The DPP told District Judge Edgar Foo: "If the girl agreed, the accused would purport to arrange for them to meet a client who was, in truth, the accused. When Goh met the girls in person for sex, he would take them to places where they would not be detected.
Court documents did not reveal how the offences came to light, but Goh was arrested on April 2 last year. Offenders convicted of having commercial sex with a girl below 18 years old can be jailed for up to seven years and fined.
