SINGAPORE - A 47-year-old man who showed pornographic videos to his eight-year-old neighbour and molested her twice in three months was on Thursday sentenced to four years' jail and nine strokes of the cane.
The DPP argued that showing obscene images to the girl was an"overt act of sexual grooming by desensitising the victim to sexual activity through inappropriate exposure to sexual content"."His acts of lust would leave an indelible mark on the life of a young innocent child, and destroyed the close, almost three-decade friendship shared between the two families."
In sentencing, Justice Pang Khang Chau noted the very young age of the victim and that there was abuse of trust given the close relationship between the two families. After the repairs were done, the man left the house but returned - after her father had left for work - and went up to the second floor, where the girl was using the laptop in her parents' bedroom.
