Hee Lic Yuan, 32, worked as a business analyst at a bank from 2019 to 2021 when he committed his offences. His victims were aged between 13 and 22 years old.
Hee would approach young women and girls through
social media , posing as a wealthy man seeking sugar babies,
CNA reported. He offered payments in exchange for explicit photos, videos, or sexual services.
His requests sometimes began more innocuously, such as asking victims for photos of their armpits, according to Mothership.
But they quickly progressed to include fully nude photos and videos. In some instances, he would send sexually explicit images or videos of other women, asking the victim to imitate them.

Singapore detains boy, 17, allegedly planning to kill ‘at least 100' Muslims
A Singaporean teenager allegedly planning to kill dozens of Muslims outside several mosques has been detained, the city state's Internal Security Department said on Wednesday. Advertisement The 17-year-old boy was detained in March, the ISD said in a statement, adding that he had regarded white supremacist Brenton Tarrant – who in 2019 had killed worshippers at mosques in New Zealand – as a 'hero'. ISD also said he had 'identified as an 'East Asian Supremacist'', and had decided on five mosques across Singapore for his post-Friday prayer attacks. 'This boy wanted to kill at least 100 Muslims, so that he can kill more Muslims than Tarrant had killed. He also wanted to live-stream his attacks,' Home Minister K Shanmugam told reporters. 'When he was arrested … he had already made a number of attempts to get a gun. He told ISD quite openly if he had gotten a gun, he would have carried out his attacks.' Advertisement The teen had been in online contact with 18-year-old Nick Lee , who was detained in December for having similar plans.
