SINGAPORE - A former Miss Universe Singapore contestant who memorised her friends debit card details and used these to spend $2,000 online was on Thursday (Feb 11) sentenced to six weeks jail.
Ashley Rita Wong Kai Lin, 27, had pleaded guilty in December last year to four counts of accessing materials on a computer without authority. The charges involved about $1,000 in total.
During sentencing, the court also considered 27 other similar charges involving the remaining amount.
The Singaporean, who was a Miss Universe Singapore contestant in 2017, had committed the offences in 2016 after a break-up with her boyfriend.
One of her victims was a friend - Mr Andrew Lim, 28. When she noticed he had left his wallet on a table, she removed a debit card and memorised the details before returning it to the wallet.
