SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A Singaporean police sergeant has been jailed for two years for having oral sex in a country where prostitution is legal but oral sex is not, a newspaper reported Friday.

The Straits Times reported that the 27-year-old police coast guard sergeant landed in court after a 16-year-old reported to the police that she had performed oral sex on the man.

She was above the age of consent and agreed to perform the act, but oral sex is against the law in the city-state, the paper said.

"The act by itself is an offence. It is not a question of consent or no consent. Even between consenting people, it is an offence," criminal lawyer Subhas Anandan told the paper.

The maximum punishment for the offence is life imprisonment.

That's the 3rd wierd sex/law story in 2 days.

1- Legalized prostitution with young girls, but life in prison for oral sex with wife.

2- Lesbian sex does not count as sex for purposes of proving adultery.

3- Adult male arrested for having internet/phone sex with young girl he never met.

Wow! Does sex make us crazy or what?!

[Cicero]

Clinton had definitely better stay out of Singapore.

Go figure. Here you get re-elected to the White House.

[george wythe]

Obviously Justice Kennedy did not take this law into consideration when writing his opinion in Lawrence

[taxcontrol]

Hmmm, I wonder if O'Conner will be considering this bit of "International Law"?

[DainBramage]

Surely this is toungue and cheek...

[Lancey Howard]

Why did this 16-year-old report this to the police?
Did she take the evidence with her?
