A man was sentenced to nearly five years’ jail on Thursday for molesting his biological daughter between 2011 and 2017. He started molesting her when she was around nine years old and continued targeting her as he felt emboldened by her silence. His offences...

“In this regard, he engaged in victim-shaming tactics to portray the victim as a sexualised and promiscuous girl in an attempt to explain why she made the present allegations against him.”

DPP Lim said the man had molested his daughter on multiple occasions between December 2011 and December 2017 to satisfy his sexual urges. The prosecutor said: “Throughout this time, the victim suffered alone and in silence. She wrestled with feelings of anguish and shame, unsure of whether anyone would believe her.

The prosecutor also asked for him to be given an additional one month’s jail in lieu of caning as offenders over 50 years old cannot be caned.
