26 years, 24 strokes for rape

How the ugly secret was exposed

In late 2008, the mother moved to a rented flat in Boon Lay to be closer to her new office in Jurong. She did not visit the man and their relationship ended. She continued to trust him and the girl stayed on in his flat as it was nearer to her school, only joining her mother on weekends and during the school holidays.

In August last year, the daughter also moved to Boon Lay but would return to his flat to use his computer or collect her belongings. On one such occasion, he had sex with her. She was then aged 14.

On her return from his flat on Oct 5 last year, her mother questioned her and the ugly secret was revealed. Confronted by the woman the next day, the man confessed and surrendered to the police.

UNDER the pretext of teaching her about sex so she would not be cheated by men in the future, an operations supervisor had sex with his girlfriend's daughter and gave her a sexually transmitted disease. Only after the victim, then aged 14, attended sex education classes last year and found out about sex, masturbation and condoms, did she realise that what he did to her was wrong.

She told her mother and on Tuesday, the 43-year-old man was sentenced to a total of 26 years in jail and 24 strokes of the cane in the High Court. He had pleaded guilty to raping her on four occasions. Seven other similar offences were taken into consideration by Justice Steven Chong. The man cannot be named to protect the victim's identity.

The court heard that the bachelor was in a relationship with the girl's mother. The 37-year-old divorcee then moved into his flat with her daughter and son in 2005. As she was afraid of the dark, she would sleep with the man and her mother. Sometime after she turned 12 in 2007, he touched her private parts as she lay between him and her mother.

When they were both alone in the flat some months later, he tried to have sex with the primary six student but stopped when she complained of pain.
She told police she did not tell anyone then because she did not know what he did was wrong. The next time in the same year, he went all the way wearing a condom.

SINGAPORE: A man raped a minor over two years on the pretext of showing her what sex was like so she would not be cheated by other men.

His incredible explanation was heard in the High Court on Tuesday, after he pleaded guilty to four sexual offences - including three rape charges - against the minor.

The man had raped his then-girlfriend's daughter repeatedly. He cannot be named as it may lead to the identification of the victim.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Gail Wong said the accused - who was addressed as "Daddy" by the victim - had disguised his depraved actions "as a lesson from a caring father to a child".

Ms Wong added: "The accused then blackmailed the victim emotionally by playing on her trust and affection for him, instructing her not to tell others what had happened between them as he would be arrested, jailed and caned."

The offences took place at his home in eastern Singapore and the first rape occurred in 2007 when the victim was only 12 years old.

Two years after the crimes began, the victim told her mother in October last year. The mother then confronted the accused who surrendered to the police.

The victim, who is now 15, has also likely contracted a sexually transmitted disease (STD) - Chlamydia Urethrtis - from the accused.

Justice Steven Chong sentenced the man to 26 years' jail and ordered him to be given 24 strokes of the cane.

'Daddy' rapist gets jail, caning
Man raped girlfriend's 12-year-old daughter over two-year period

By Khushwant Singh

SHE trusted him completely, with the guilelessness of a 12-year-old. But the man she called 'Daddy', the boyfriend of her mother, raped her 11 times over the next two years. Only when the victim attended sexuality education classes last year did she realise what he did to her was wrong.

Yesterday, the 43-year-old man was sentenced to 26 years' jail and 24 strokes of the cane by the High Court. He pleaded guilty to raping her on four occasions. Seven other similar offences were taken into consideration by Justice Steven Chong.

The man cannot be named because this could lead to the identity of the victim being revealed. The court heard that the bachelor was in a relationship with the girl's mother. The 37-year-old divorcee then moved into his flat in the eastern part of Singapore with her daughter and son in 2005.

The son, the elder child, moved out after he quarrelled with his mother and went to stay with his grandparents. The daughter, however, was soon calling the man 'Daddy'.
