Not one. But several cases involving cheena incest activities.
Man jailed 24 years for twice raping teenage daughter, after she confided in older brother to no avail
SINGAPORE — Afraid of being disciplined by her
father, a teenage girl gave in to his sexual advances.
The frequent molestations quickly escalated to rape. After the father raped his daughter for the second time, she missed her period and both grew worried.

The girl eventually tested negative and she told her school teacher a few months later that her father had molested her. Neither of them can be named due to a court gag order to protect her identity.
On Wednesday (Feb 26) in the High Court, the man, a
50-year-old Chinese national and Singapore permanent resident (PR), was sentenced to 24 years behind bars. While rape carries the possibility of caning, offenders aged 50 and above cannot be caned by law.
The prosecution had sought one more year of imprisonment in lieu of the maximum 24 strokes of the cane, but Justice Aedit Abdullah found that this was not necessary.
The father, who was 48 years old when he committed his offences between January and May 2018, pleaded guilty to two counts of rape. Another six molestation charges were taken into consideration for sentencing.

The court heard that he worked as a technician and lived in a four-room Housing and Development Board flat with his wife and two children, including the victim. They are all
Chinese nationals and PRs.
The married couple’s relationship had been strained for many years, so they began sleeping separately.
While his wife occupied the master bedroom, he slept with his children in a partitioned area in the living room. His son had a bed of his own, while the man slept in the lower deck of a bunk bed. His daughter slept in the upper bunk.

FATHER BEAT HER WITH ‘CANE-LIKE GLUE STICK’
When she reached her teenage years, he began to use her as an outlet for his sexual urges.
He first touched her inappropriately in January 2018, when she was 13 years old. She was using the computer to apply for travel documents for a school trip when he hugged her from the back and molested her under her T-shirt.

Afraid and unsure of what to do, she stood up and walked away.
He grew bolder after this, demanding that she lie beside him on the bed on Sunday mornings, when she was up early for art classes and their other family members were still asleep.
She usually complied as she was afraid of defying her father, but lay with her back facing him. However, he would turn her around to molest her.
She was afraid of him because he had disciplined her in the past by beating her with a “cane-like glue stick”, or slapping her, the court heard.
In February 2018, the girl told her brother, who is five years older than her, about what was happening. While he sensed that she was scared, he did not offer any help, merely telling her to reject the older man the next time it happened.
From then on, their father repeatedly assaulted her sexually. On one occasion, he forced her to perform a sex act on him.
The first time he raped her in March 2018, he told her not to shout if she felt pain so she would not wake the rest of the family up. She was a virgin before this.
He raped her a second time the next month but did not use a condom this time. When he drove her to art class afterwards, he realised that she had not washed her stained underwear but instead left them in the laundry basket. He rushed home to get rid of the evidence.
Subsequently, she grew worried when she missed her period and he bought a pregnancy test kit for her. The results came back negative.
In October 2018, the girl’s co-form teacher talked to her after finding out that she wanted to run away from home. After some time, she confided in the teacher and her father was arrested.
He told the police that he “found it troublesome” to get a condom from the master bedroom and thought it would be “safe”, based on what he knew about the girl’s periods.
The girl was sent to the Child Guidance Clinic for a psychiatric assessment, where she said she occasionally “feels breathless for no reason”. She also said that she obeyed her father because she felt she had no choice and feared him.
