New: You can now listen to articles.SINGAPORE: The oldest of four brothers accused of sexually abusing their younger sister was sentenced to 20 years in jail and 24 strokes of the cane on Monday .SEXUAL ASSAULTSThe assaults by the oldest brother took place in 2019 and 2021 when he was aged 18 to 21, and his sister was nine to 10.
The offender knew that the second-oldest brother - who has not yet been convicted - had allegedly sexually assaulted the girl, but did not do anything about it, Ms Pillay said. After reporting the abuse, she felt anxious, guilty and blamed herself for not stopping her brothers. She also showed trauma symptoms such as hypervigilance and frequent strong feelings of disgust, fear and sadness.
But Mr Chua countered that there was"rudimentary planning" at most, and that the offender's actions showed opportunism, not premeditation and planning. Mr Chua argued that the 24-year imprisonment sought by the prosecution would be"crushing", pointing out that it was even longer than the amount of time his client had lived so far.Describing the case as"tragic", Justice Chionh said the man's offences were aggravated by the fact that he abused the trust placed in him as the eldest brother and head of the family in his parent's absence.
