Former actor Ian Fang, originally from Shanghai, will be deported from Singapore and barred from re-entry after serving a 40-month jail sentence for underage sex offences. Fang's Singaporean permanent resident status was revoked by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) on Thursday. He was sentenced in May 2024 after pleading guilty to three counts of sexually penetrating a 15-year-old girl whom he met at an entertainment event. The offences occurred between June and July 2024, when Fang was an acting teacher at a modelling school for children. He also admitted to harassing the victim and obstructing justice after the girl's mother reported the incidents to the police.
