A Sri Lankan student in Singapore was fined $2,000 and fined another $20,000 for having 287 obscene films stored in his laptop. The Straits Times reports that the accused had posted revealing pictures of his ex-girlfriend on Facebook and called her a slut. Under the law, this is criminal intimidation.

The ex-student of the Singapore Institute of Management admitted to threatening to injure the reputation of his ex-girlfriend with his homemade video.

He had taken the photographs with her consent during their relationship. After the break-up, he weaved these images into a video clip on his laptop and uploaded it on Facebook at 8am on Sept 28, 2010, with a title that included her name and the words 'slut in Singapore'. (Source: Straits Times)
