Man who raped three of his daughters found unfit for caning, gets another 10 months’ jail

SINGAPORE: The High Court on Monday, October 24, sentenced a man to an additional 10 months in prison for rapeding three of his daughters and sexually abusing four of them because he is unable to obtain the 24 wood strokes that were meted out to him.

On top of his recent 33 times and 2 months in prison, this is.

The court heard that the 45-year-old Singaporean was certified to be entirely inadequate for caning due to” gentle congestive heart failure.”

Between 2004 and 2018, the original independent kids’ adventure camp teacher admitted to raping or sexually abusing four of his sons. & nbsp,

Only his second and youngest daughters were spared from sexual abuse beginning at the age of six or seven for his oldest child. & nbsp,

He was sentenced by the High Court in March 2022, and it stated that he used his daughters as” his sexual things.”

In addition, the person actually abused his wife and son and starved his sons when he was upset with them.

The extensive abuse was discovered after his daughter, the youngest of the abused & nbsp, reported the incident to the police in November 2018.

Due to the man’s serious behavior, his reticence, malice, and his” contempt for the well-being of those who called him father and husband ,” the prosecution requested a 12-month prison sentence in place of the 24 strokes from the wood.

To” account for the warning and punitive effects of punishment which are lost as a result of the offender’s freedom ,” the prosecutors stated that prison time must be imposed in place of forcible punishment.

They cited his abused daughters’ victim impact statements, in which they claimed to be” quite traumatized” and also experienced nightmares.

One of them felt that she was” fighting this mental struggle alone” and blamed herself for the fact that her sisters” did not possess a father.”

She” kept waking up in the middle of the night frequently and( crying ) about her life ,” according to another, and she never wanted a father figure at home to remind her of what her father did to her.

Three of the victims claimed they had trouble trusting men because they feared the mistreatment would happen again.

The man had filed an appeal requesting a shorter prison sentence, claiming that some of the case’s evidence was” vague” and that he intended to go on an overnight trip.

In September 2022, his appeal was denied.
