Using pet names such as "Daddy" and "Daughter", a former primary school teacher took his relationship with a young girl to lewd levels when he proceeded to engage in sexual acts with the then 12-year-old.
35-year-old Mandarin teacher Du Tao has since been sentenced to 21 months in jail after pleading guilty to the sexual assault of the girl he met online through photo-editing app Mei Pai in 2014, Channel NewsAsia reports.
The two continued to chat on WeChat, and the girl even sent him photographs of herself in her primary school uniform. She called him "Daddy" due to their massive age gap, while Du called her "nu er"— "daughter" in Mandarin.
