Who is this?

Amos Yee Pang Sang (born 31 October 1998) is a Singaporean convicted child sex offender, YouTuber, blogger, and former child actor. In 2012, inspired by atheism, Yee started to upload videos to YouTube that criticised religion, particularly Islam and Christianity. His videos were aimed at both Singaporean and international youth. In 2015, Yee gained national and international attention after he uploaded a video that labelled Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore who had recently died, as a dictator. After 32 police reports were filed against him, Yee was arrested by the Singapore Police Force and charged for both obscenity and violations of provisions under the Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act. His trial and arrest garnered condemnation by international organisations like Amnesty International and the Committee to Protect Journalists, which highlighted restrictions on freedom of expression in Singapore. In 2016, Yee fled to the United States, where he was granted political asylum by the Department of Homeland Security. In 2020, he was arrested by the Marshals Service at his apartment in Chicago for solicitation, possession of child pornography, and child grooming. He was sentenced to six years in a Illinois prison. Yee was released on parole on 7 October 2023, but was rearrested for violating his parole conditions. On 21 November 2025, he was released under early parole. On 19 March 2026, he was deported back to Singapore, where he was charged under the Enlistment Act for skipping his compulsory national service back in 2016.
