A man in Singapore posed as a younger person on TikTok to befriend a 10-year-old girl, whereupon he convinced her to meet up in real life and subsequently molested her at his home, Channel News Asia reported.

Jambi Arbi, 51, told the victim that he was 25. He was sentenced to 23 months in jail after pleading guilty to one count of using criminal force on a minor to outrage her modesty.
