Amos Yee, a Singaporean vlogger known for his controversial videos criticising state authorities and religion, has been deported from the US to face charges back home for child sex offences. Yee fled to the US in 2017 after being imprisoned twice in Singapore and was granted asylum in the US despite opposition from the Department of Homeland Security. However, in 2020, he was again jailed for possessing child pornography and sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. He is set to appear before a Singapore court on Friday and is expected to be charged for skipping mandatory military conscription.
