A 17-year-old boy was sentenced to 15 months probation on 20 August.
He reportedly made an underaged girl pregnant while he was still under investigation over sexual activities with another girl, who was also underaged.
The boy and his victims cannot be named due to a gag order protecting their identities.
He pleaded guilty back in June to two counts of sexual penetration of a minor.
He was aware that both girls were under the age of 16 at the time of the offences.
He met his first victim, a 14-year-old girl at a friend’s home last February.
She was lying on the bed resting, when he unzipped her jeans and had sex with her.
The offence soon came to light and the boy was under investigation at the time, when he targeted his 15-year-old girlfriend.
She had run away from her home last October and found shelter at his home.
They slept together and had unprotected sex, resulting in the girl becoming pregnant.
She later suffered a miscarriage and received treatment at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

Minister of Health Ong Ye Kung said on 19 August, that Singapore is very likely to begin a Covid-19 vaccination booster exercise.
He added that it is necessary for people who are severely immunocompromised to get a third jab.
This will include cancer patients undergoing treatment, patients who have undergone transplants, kidney disease patients on dialysis and patients on therapy for immunosuppression.
Ong said:
“Because of their conditions, these persons react much less to vaccinations even after two doses, meaning they cannot produce as much antibodies or activate the necessary mechanisms to fight the virus. Hence a third dose of vaccine is necessary for them.”
Ong previously said on 8 July that the booster shots exercise could begin next year, around the Chinese New Year period.

Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, is slated to arrive in Singapore this Sunday, to discuss ways to deepen bilateral cooperation between the countries in various areas.
Minister of Health Ong Ye Kung revealed that she will not be subjected to a Stay-Home Notice and instead, will be subjected to regular testing as well as a controlled itinerary.
Harris’ visit to Singapore comes after US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin’s trip to the country last month.
Ong said in a press conference:
“In the past, we have had other dignitaries and we subject them to similar healthcare protocols.”
“Instead, as a principle, we know that we can always replace SHN with tests. Technically if you test every day, so long as it’s negative every day, you know that it’s safe for the person to move around.”
“We can’t do that for the entire population and therefore SHN and quarantine is often the other way for us to implement a nationwide healthcare measure.”
