Former actor Ian Fang has had his PR status revoked and will be deported from Singapore after finishing his 40-month jail sentence for sexual offences, reports the Straits Times on Thursday (5 Feb). The newspaper, citing a spokesperson from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), confirmed the 35-year-old will also be barred from re-entering Singapore.       What criminal offenses was he convicted of? Ian Fang was convicted in Singapore for sexual offences involving a minor: He pleaded guilty in 2025 to multiple counts of sexual penetration of a girl who was 15 years old at the time of the offences in 2024. Additional charges like obstruction of justice and stalking/harassment related to the same case were taken into consideration during sentencing. The court sentenced him to 40 months in prison. Context of the case: The offences happened after Fang met the girl at an entertainment event; she was a minor (15) and the relationship was exploitative — not legally permissible due to her age. While the details of the victim are protected by a court gag order, the case was reported once that gag was partly lifted to name Fang himself. He also harassed the victim during the investigation process, including repeatedly contacting her. Recent legal consequences beyond imprisonment: Singapore authorities have revoked his permanent resident status. He will be deported from Singapore and barred from re-entering the country after serving his sentence.
