He is among the 44 men to be charged in court today under Section 376B(1) of the Penal Code, Chapter 224 for prostitution of minor under 18.
The 39-year-old is reportedly the only one who admitted to the two charges of having paid $500 on each of the two occasions for sex with the under-aged girl.
He had sex with her at Hotel 81 Bencoolen on Sept 26 and Dec 14, 2010.
Previous reports have stated that he has a son from a marriage of over 10 years.
Reports first broke in February on the bust of an online vice syndicate which employed under-aged girls, which saw 80 men reportedly being implicated.
The suspects included high ranking men from both public and private organisations, and comprised of both bachelors and married men.
