SINGAPORE - After a spat with her daughter, a woman complained to her son about his"rebellious" younger sister, only to be told - for the first time - that the siblings had been sexually assaulted by her former boyfriend when they were children, more than a decade ago.
On Thursday , the alleged perpetrator, who is now 48 years old, went on trial in the High Court for various sexual offences against the siblings, who are now 31 and 29 years old. However, he admits three other charges: one for asking the girl to perform acts depicted in pornographic images they viewed together and two for performing a sexual act on the boy on two occasions.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Gail Wong told the court that the siblings' mother introduced the man to them sometime in 1999, about six months after they started dating.The siblings' mother held various jobs and was often at work, and the man helped her to care for her children.The DPP said the sister will testify that in one of the earlier incidents, she awoke to find the man rubbing himself against her.
