Teenage Girl,Sexual Abuse,Stepfather

A teenage girl who was sexually abused by her stepfather for two years sought help from a local law firm out of desperation, after other attempts to stop the assaults proved futile. The stepfather was undeterred even after the girl locked her bedroom door and after her older brother tried to prevent the assaults. After the girl submitted two messages to the firm's website, saying that she was afraid to go to the police but was terrified and contemplating suicide, the director of the firm lodged a police report on her behalf. On Feb 19, the 37-year-old stepfather was sentenced to 14 years' jail and 20 strokes of the cane by the High Court. He pleaded guilty to one charge each of aggravated sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault by penetration. Another nine charges, for acts of abuse carried out between 2019 and 2021, were taken into consideration during sentencing
