SINGAPORE - A 44-year-old man who showed child pornography to his daughter and sexually assaulted her over 7½ years was sentenced to 28 years jail and 24 strokes of the cane on Monday (April 26).
SINGAPORE - A 33-year-old man who showed pornographic videos to his four-year-old biological daughter before he sexually assaulted her was sentenced to 15 years jail and 15 strokes of the cane on Monday (March 8).
The man, who was estranged from the victim s mother at the time, had committed the sexual offences when the girl was staying with him on weekends between March and May 2015, the High Court heard.
He pleaded guilty to one charge of sexual assault by penetration and one charge of outrage of modesty. Five other charges, including three for showing obscene objects to a young person, were taken into consideration.
SINGAPORE - A girl who had been molested by her father at least once a week finally stood up to him at the age of 15 after suffering in silence for years.
Instead of being contrite, the man punished her by locking her out of their flat for hours almost every day that month until her mother came home from work.
When the abuse escalated to rape, the girl was so afraid of being punished that she simply covered her face with a pillow and silently endured the assaults.
On Monday (Feb 22), the 44-year-old man was sentenced to 25 years jail and 24 strokes of the cane in a case described by the High Court judge as sickening .
SINGAPORE - The family of seven-year-old Lim Shiow Rong has been reassured that investigations are continuing more than 25 years after her rape and murder.
The girl s mother, Madam Ang Goon Lay, 65, and sister, Ms Lim Jia Hui, 27, were called to the Criminal Investigation Department on Monday morning (Jan 18), where an officer from the Special Investigation Section told them the case has been reviewed several times since 1995.
Speaking to the media after the meeting at Madam Ang s coffee shop in Block 75 Toa Payoh Lorong 5, Ms Lim said that the officer had photographs of the crime scene, but she told him not to show them to her mother as they could be distressing to her.
