A man molested his niece when she was between seven and eight years old, and went on to perform a sexual act on the minor in their home around seven years later in 2015. Six years passed before she finally told the police in 2021 about her ordeal. The court heard...

The offender cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the victim’s identity.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Melissa Heng said: “Emboldened by the lack of consequences, he escalated in his sexual abuse and committed a more serious offence of sexual penetration of a minor against the victim.” The man and his niece, who was then between 14 and 15 years old, were alone in the unit in 2015 when he took her to a bathroom and told her to sit on a toilet bowl.

On Tuesday, DPP Heng pressed for a sentence of three years’ jail, noting that the man had abused his position of trust.
