On the totality of the evidence (forum post, WeChat messages, recorded interview and undercover testimony) the appellant did not and could not reasonably have believed the undercover was a prostitute; the conviction for the second charge is safe. The original 4‑month custodial sentence was unduly lenient given the gravity and deterrent need of the offence and is increased to 5 months; appellant to pay the respondent's appeal costs.
