Man Sentenced to 34 Years for Sexually Assaulting and Raping His Mistress’ Daughter for 7 Years
–>
According to reports, the man started raping his mistress’ daughter since the girl was just 7 years old.
A man was sentenced to 34 years’ jail and the maximum 24 strokes of the cane on Monday (Feb 26) after pleading guilty to four charges of statutory rape. The man, who cannot be named so as to protect the victim’s identity, had reportedly raped the young girl since she was just 7 years old, and continued to do so for 7 more years.
The sentencing was also based on other 17 charges—including statutory rape, molestation, committing an indecent act, and sexual penetration of a minor.
Reports say that the man started sexually abusing the girl when she was just 7 years old. The girl claimed to have reported the man to her mother, but the later refused to believe her and got mad at her instead. This allowed the man to progress to raping her and forcing her to perform oral sex on him. The man was so confident that he won’t be punished or caught that he even did the acts in broad daylight, with other people present.
When the girl was 13, she decided that she could no longer endure the abuse. She reported the man to the police, but in return, her mother abandoned her. The victim’s mother has been visiting the man in prison every other week.
Once arrested, the man claimed that he only responded to the girl, who flirted with him by eating ice cream and bananas in a provocative manner. Deputy Public Prosecutor David Khoo urged the court to impose a harsher sentence which would serve as a deterrent message to protect the young and vulnerable.
“This is one of the most heinous cases which we have ever seen,” Deputy Public Prosecutor David Khoo said. “He ‘robbed her of her innocence’”, he added.
Between 2010 and 2014, the girl was apparently sent to live with the man and his family, which included his wife and son, during the school holidays. He started molesting the girl in the flat, and even taunted the girl, telling her: “If you want to tell on me, go ahead.”
In 2014, the man was able to convince the victim’s mother to move in with his family, claiming he could make their lives better. However, it was revealed that he was actually jobless and relied on his wife to support the family. Aside from that, the man apparently accepted allowance from the girl’s mother, who sometimes paid $350 a month to his wife for household expenses.
The abuse got worse once they moved in. Whenever the girl put up any resistance, the man would fly into a rage. The girl was afraid of the man’s violent outburst and controlling behaviour.
DPP Khoo said: “She (the victim) felt very lousy about herself and just let the accused abuse her daily.”
Aside from sexually and physically abusing the girl, the man would also physically abuse his wife and mistress whenever he got drunk. In addition, he installed tracking software on their phones.
In 2016, the man’s wife filed for divorce, leaving the flat with their son. The man subsequently moved into his lover’s flat where he continued abusing the victim. The girl eventually sought help from the man’s wife, who then referred her to a social worker. The social worker brought the girl to lodge a police report on June 29, 2016.
The man spent the next four days evading arrest before turning himself to the police. The girl is now 15 and living with her maternal grandmother.
