A man who downloaded sexually explicit material involving children after he joined a Telegram chat group in which members shared pornography had his jail term increased from six weeks to eight months on May 15.
The prosecution had appealed to the High Court for a heavier sentence to be handed down to Randy Rosigit, 28, who had initially been sentenced by a district court in 2023.
The High Court panel, comprising Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, Justice Tay Yong Kwang and Justice Vincent Hoong, will issue a written judgment at a later date.
Randy, an Indonesian and Singapore permanent resident, had pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing two still images and six videos that constituted child abuse material.
These had been shared in a Telegram group that he joined in June 2021.
