He would chat up students from the primary school who played near his home in Bukit Batok and entice them with computer games to go back with him.
In reality, what he wanted was for them to perform sexual acts with him.
He snared his first victims — a pair of brothers, aged 10 and seven — and went on to commit 27 sexual offences on them and three other boys over around five months beginning October 2012, buying their silence with gifts.
The court heard that the logistical officer first preyed on the older brother when he asked the boy to take off his shirt and hug and kiss him, while taking pictures of the act.
Later that month, he did the same with the younger brother and bought the siblings some game cards as a reward. Subsequently, he made the brothers masturbate him.
Lok also made another seven-year-old boy masturbate him and perform oral sex on him while he filmed the acts.
He also preyed on a nine-year-old, buying him game cards in exchange for snapping pictures of the boy in the nude, and hugging and kissing him, as well as touching his private parts.
Yesterday, Deputy Public Prosecutor Zhong Zewei said Lok’s persistent offending showed he is “either totally unable or unwilling” to control himself.
Mr Zhong added that the Institute of Mental Health has diagnosed Lok with paedophilia, which provides “substantial ballast for the principles of prevention and deterrence”.
Prosecutors urged the district judge to sentence Lok to 12 years in prison.
In mitigation, Lok, who pleaded guilty last month to eight charges including seven charges under the Children and Young Persons Act.
He is expected to be sentenced on Nov 3.
