Man, 74, jailed for molesting 8-year-old granddaughter during weekend sleepovers

SINGAPORE: A senior citizen frequently abused his eight-year-old granddaughter when she spent the weekend at his house.

After pleading guilty to one count of molesting a minor, the 74-year-old Singaporean was given a two-and-a-half year sentence on Friday ( Mar 15 ).

He may be named to shield the identification of his daughter, who is now 10.

Between January and September 2020, the sufferer and her two boys would frequently attend their parental grandfather.

They spent the weekend at his house, and the old man picked them up on Friday.

The father slept on a base with the victim, and the three children shared a bed with both of the grandparents in the same room.

His family and his two grandkids did lie on the floor.

Somewhere in January 2020, while the gentleman was sleeping with his daughter, he pulled down her attire and molested her.

The victim claims that when she stayed above, the touching took place practically every weekend. She merely estimated that it took place at least once per month, and she could not understand exactly how many times it happened.

The grandfather even molested the girl in September of that year.

After this, the lady told her father what happened.

Her parents then confronted his own dad, who&nbsp, admitted to his deeds.

After the fight, the girl’s parents decided to stop sending his kids over for nights.

The woman and her parents made the decision to ignore the incident and “move on with their lives,” according to the trial.

GIRL TELLS TEACHER

In April 2021, the woman attended a instruction program in college about bullying.

She complained to the professor who was teaching her after the lesson, and said she had formerly been touched badly.

After speaking with the woman, a school counselor spoke with her and requested a police statement from the Ministry of Social and Family Development.

The man, who was present at the reading with his daughter, was ordered to spend three to four years in prison.

The attorney cited the victim’s period, the “prolonged misuse of believe,” over a nine-month period, and the fact that there was body on skin contact.

Because the man was older than the punishment time, no punishment was attempted.

The person, who was disadvantaged, first contested the part of the speech of information that said he molested the woman’s breasts.

Nevertheless, he eventually accepted it.

The sanctions for molesting a small are a prison expression of up to five years, a fine, punishment, or a combination of these sanctions.
