The parents of a teenage girl in Singapore have called for stronger punishment for former actor Ian Fang, after he was convicted of having underage sex with their daughter.

Fang, 35, was sentenced to 40 months’ jail on May 19 after pleading guilty to sexual offences involving a minor. He did not face caning for the sexual offences he committed against the then 15-year-old girl.
The victim’s parents, however, have called for Fang to be caned.
“Mark him for life. He marked my daughter for life,” the girl’s father told national broadcaster CNA. “Let the guy learn. Like that, every time he takes off his clothes, people can see … he did something bad in the past.”
The couple also said they intended to sue Fang.

In June last year, Fang engaged in mostly unprotected sex with the victim on nine occasions, despite knowing that she was underage. He was 34 at the time of the offences, and worked as an acting teacher at a modelling school for students aged four to 14.
