Former radio DJ Dee Kosh pleads guilty to sexual offences involving ... (CNA)

SINGAPORE: Former radio disc jockey Dee Kosh on Monday (May 30) admitted to sexual offences involving two underaged teenage boys.

In 2016, Kosh started following the third victim, identified as A3 in court documents, on social media. A2 did not send the photo, but assured Kosh that he would not talk. Kosh was arrested on Oct 5, 2020. He gradually raised this amount to S$2,000 after A2 repeatedly declined the offer. While chatting online, Kosh invited A3 over to his home. The messages could not be forwarded to others. A1 told Kosh he was under 16 years old. If found guilty of communications for the purpose of obtaining sexual services of a minor, he could be jailed for up to two years and fined. Kosh then asked A2 what it would take for him to allow someone to perform a sexual act on him, adding that he would be blindfolded and would not know the gender of the person. All of the victims' identities are protected by gag orders. This led to Kosh telling A2 that he had an "indecent proposal". He suggested that they move their conversation to Snapchat, which shares some of the features of a "Secret Chat". They started talking, with Kosh initiating a "question game". He started to ask the victim questions of a sexual nature.

Koshy later said he would be the one performing the sex act on the victim, and offered increasing sums of between S$400 to S$2,000. Koshy then suggested that they move to a secret chat on Telegram, and offered S$100 to S$250 in exchange for the victim performing sex acts on him. The final straw for the victim was when Koshy solicited a penetrative sex act. Koshy said it did not matter if a male or female was giving it, and added that the victim would be blindfolded in any case. The victim did not give one but assured Koshy that he would not talk. He was aged about 23 at the time. Between 2016 and 2017, Koshy filmed them in his bedroom. Koshy learned of the boy’s age and said he would teach him about production work. However, on Aug 15, 2020, one of the victims — identified as A2 in court documents — posted on Instagram that he had been sexually harassed by Koshy in 2017. The victims also could not forward the messages to others. He used his verified accounts on these platforms to convince them of his identity. They cannot be named due to gag orders to protect their identities.
