The man behind the online vice ring case, Tang Boon Thiew, lost his appeal against his sentence in the High Court on Friday.
The 39-year-old was convicted early this year of 20 vice-related charges and was given 58 months' jail and fined $90,000 or 45 weeks' jail. He is serving sentence and has not paid the fines.
Tang, who had 82 other charges taken into consideration, had recruited 19 escorts, 17 of whom provided sexual services over a span of about two years. One was a 17-year-old who provided paid sex to 51 men. To date, 20 men have been convicted and sentenced to jail but three are appealing against their sentences.
The escort was described as an 18-year-old polytechnic student on the website.
