KLANG: The Sessions Court here, Wednesday, sentenced a man to 1,050 years in jail and 24 strokes of the cane.
Judge Datin M. Kunasundary handed down the sentence after he pleaded guilty to raping his 12-year-old stepdaughter 105 times over a period of two years.
She ordered the accused to serve 10 years in jail and two strokes of the cane for each rape charge, with the sentence to run consecutively from the date of his arrest, Jan 20.

Wednesday’s proceedings took almost five hours after each charge was read out separately.
In passing sentence, Kunasundary said the offence was not only grave, it was abominable and had blighted the child’s future.
