A 44-year-old repairman who sexually abused his own daughter for seven years, starting when she was 10, was on Friday sent to jail for 24 years and ordered to be caned the maximum 24 strokes.
He first raped the girl in the family flat in 2003 when her mother, a houswife, had gone to the market, and her siblings were playing downstairs.
In 2006, when she was one month shy of 13, he took her to Bedok Reservoir on the pretext of going fishing, but instead raped her at the Bedok Reservoir Park.
Last year, when the girl wanted to follow her mother to go to her grandmother's home, the man told her to stay at home to clean the house. While she was washing the toilet, he raped her.
