<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"-->A MAN who had sex more than a dozen times with his teenage sister-in-law and made her pregnant was jailed for 18 months on Friday.
The 32-year-old father of one pleaded guilty to two counts of having sex with a girl under 16 at a flat in November and December 2007.
The security supervisor was 31 at the time, and the girl, 15.
Assistant Superintendent Raj Kishore Rai told the court that the man and his family moved in to live with his mother-in-law in 2006 after his matrimonial home had been repossessed.
The accused and the victim, who is his wife's younger sister, became close and started having an affair.
Sometime in November 2007 he made sexual advances towards the girl.
They had sex for the first time that month. Their last sexual encounter was in December the same year.
Sometime before Christmas, they decided to put a stop to their relationship as they felt it was not proper.
She later found out she was pregnant and underwent an abortion in March last year when she was 15 weeks pregnant.
District Judge Jill Tan, who took 13 other charges into consideration, said he was not only twice her age but her brother-in-law. He was living in the flat because of his mother-in-law's generosity and abused that trust.
She said that was an aggravating factor, and the sentence must be adequately heavy to reflect the seriousness of his acts. He could have been jailed for up to five years and fined up to $10,000 per charge.
