Her first stepfather was sentenced to 18 years’ jail with 24 strokes of the cane after he pleaded guilty in June this year to offences relating to the sexual abuse, according to court documents.The court heard on Thursday that the second stepfather got to know the victim and her mother in early 2020, when they moved to another flat. The victim’s biological father had ceased contact with her around 2016 to 2017.

DPP Ng said she reluctantly reciprocated “because she thought he gave her what she had called a death stare, which was namely a threatening look”.The accused’s acts came to light only on Oct 4, 2021, when the victim’s mother found the accused and the girl in an intimate position. DPP Ng, along with DPPs Marcus Foo and Goh Qi Shuen, said in their sentencing submissions that the accused should be jailed for 10 years with six strokes of the cane.
