SINGAPORE: Two men who set up a website for prostitution and lived off the earnings collected from the women for years were sentenced to jail and fined on Thursday .
Teo, who managed the site and updated it with photos of the social escorts, was jailed for 11 months and fined S$30,000. Teo was paid a monthly salary of S$1,500. On top of this, he took a 5 per cent commission while Ong kept the remaining 35 per cent from the escorts. Another escort, a 24-year-old Singaporean, came across the MadamQ website and indicated her interest to sign up. She took the job after speaking to Ong over the phone, and serviced 40 customers, giving Ong S$24,000 from her earnings.
His accomplice Teo pleaded guilty to five charges under the Women's Charter, with another seven charges taken into consideration.
