Amos Yee charged with child porn in United States

Singaporean national Amos Yee has been charged with child porn in the United States. The 20-year-old allegedly exchanged nude photos and thousands of messages with a 14-year-old Texas girl while he was living in Chicago. [...]

During his bond hearing on Friday, Yee made several attempts to defend himself. He claimed he had information he could provide about his case. But he was told to shush. "Do not open your mouth right now, Amos," the assistant public defender repeatedly warned him, Chicago-Sun Times reported. "Just keep your mouth shut." Yee was held on a US$1 million bail and banned from using the internet while he awaits trial.
