Machine operator Soh Beng Huat, alias Teo Beng Huat, then lured them to secluded spots and sexually assaulted them.
On a number of occasions, he even took along with him an MP4 digital player or a portable camcorder with a tripod - to record the lewd acts.
Soh, married with three sons aged 14 to 27, was put behind bars for 22 years on Wednesday, after admitting that he had oral and anal sex on the two boys on 14 different occasions between October 2006 and March last year.
In sentencing him, Justice Choo Han Teck said that paedophiles with multiple offences should be punished with a lengthy term of imprisonment.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Shawn Ho told the court that Soh saw the first victim, who is mildly mentally retarded, with his older brother at a block of flats in Yishun.
He waited till the boy was alone, then struck up a conversation and told the boy to follow him.
They took two buses to the Yio Chu Kang Swimming Complex.
There, Soh led the boy to the handicapped toilet cubicle in the male changing room, locked the door and told the boy to strip.
Soh then molested and performed oral sex on the boy.
After they left the swimming complex, Soh bought the boy a cup of ice cream and a curry puff. He then took the boy home.
Soh used the same modus operandi on another two occasions, taking the boy to Northpoint Shopping Centre and Thomson Plaza.
Then one day, while seeking out the boy, he chanced across the second victim, a foreigner studying in a primary school here.
He enticed the second boy to follow him to the swimming pool by promising to buy him toys.
After performing oral sex on the boy, Soh bought him a robotic toy and told him not to disclose what they had done.
He repeated the offence nine more times, at Chong Pang Community Club, Serangoon Community Club and a public park in Yishun.
Soh also sodomised the boy on three occasions, at a nursing room at Thomson Plaza.
A number of these sex acts were recorded either on an MP4 digital player or a camcorder mounted on a tripod.
On March 7, the second boy, accompanied by his mother, made a police report.
Soh was arrested three days later.
A search of his flat turned up DVDs and an MP4 player containing video recordings of the sex acts on the boys as well as other pornographic VCDs.
The camcorder and tripod were found in his letterbox.
On Wednesday, Soh pleaded guilty to five counts of having oral sex and one count of sodomy. Another 14 charges were taken into consideration.
DPP Peter Koy urged the court to impose a deterrent sentence in view of the aggravating factors."
