SINGAPORE: An 18-year-old was charged on 11 May 2026 after allegedly assaulting convicted child sex offender Amos Yee during an anime convention at Suntec City Convention Centre.
Bosco Chun Ho Wang, a Chinese national and Singapore permanent resident, faces one charge each of voluntarily causing hurt and public nuisance.
According to court documents, the incident took place at about 2.10pm on 9 May 2026 outside Doujin Market 2026, a Japanese animation fan convention held at level four of the venue.
Chun allegedly shouted before repeatedly punching and kicking Yee, causing annoyance to members of the public nearby.
Videos circulating on social media showed Yee crouching on the ground while an attendee dressed as Yuji Itadori from the anime series Jujutsu Kaisen struck him multiple times. Yee did not appear to retaliate.
Only two bystanders intervened during the assault, while the remaining onlookers did not step in.
The Singapore Police Force said officers responded to a call for assistance at about 2.15pm and established that Yee had sustained minor injuries.
Yee later posted on social media platform X showing a bloodied upper lip. He said he had been advised to seek medical attention but left without treatment because he could not afford the cost.
If convicted of voluntarily causing hurt, Chun could face up to three years’ imprisonment, a fine of up to S$5,000, or both.
The public nuisance charge carries a maximum fine of S$2,000.
Before the incident, Yee had publicly announced plans to attend the convention. Organisers later said they had cancelled his ticket and intended to ban him from future events after receiving complaints and concerns from attendees.
Despite the ban, Yee appeared at or near the venue on the morning of 9 May and continued posting photographs and commentary online before the assault occurred.
Yee, 27, was deported to Singapore from the United States in March 2026, nearly a decade after leaving the country.
He is currently facing charges under the Enlistment Act for allegedly evading National Service obligations over more than nine years. Court documents state he allegedly failed to report for pre-enlistment medical screening and left Singapore without valid exit permits.
A pre-trial conference for those charges is scheduled for 22 May 2026.
This is not the first time Yee has been physically attacked in public.
In 2015, he was slapped outside the State Courts by Neo Gim Huah, who was later jailed for three weeks after the court ruled that vigilante violence could not be condoned.
