But a closer look at Rita's case (we are not identifying her to protect her and her child's identity) it becomes less clear if that was the case.

Part-time pet sitter Daniel Ou Yang Jian Cong, 25 was sentenced to a total of 72 months on eight charges which included having sex with two underage girls, photographing them in the nude and cheating one of them of $2,000.

Lim Seong Yeong, a 37-year-old building maintenance supervisor, was sentenced to 10 years' jail and and 14 strokes of the cane for attempted rape and grossly outraging the modesty of the Secondary 2 student.

But some things don't change. When Rita found out that she was pregnant and decided to keep the baby, the man denied he was the father and broke off all contact after that.

Recalling the days before she realised she was pregnant, she said Vin told her that he was going away for a training stint in Taiwan for three weeks and would not be able to call her regularly.

Her advice to the 'young girls who may be playing with fire' on the Internet: 'They should be warned of the chatroom monsters who disguise themselves as nice men.

According to the 63 girls who said they have befriended someone in Internet chatrooms before, most of them did so out of boredom, loneliness or to make more friends.

Psychologists and counsellors told The New Paper on Sunday that teenagers who visit chatline websites and end up meeting strangers for sex do so because they want to enjoy the thrill of something that is adult-like.

According to statistics from the Singapore Police Force website, there were five reported rapes and 12 outrage of modesty cases that involved victims who met their rapists via the Internet and chatlines.
