'Devastating harm': 28 years' jail, caning for man who raped, sexually abused stepdaughter over 3 years
He pleaded guilty to three charges of rape of a person younger than 14 years of age. Ten other rape charges and one charge of sexual assault involving penetration were also taken into consideration for sentencing. Court documents stated that he was able to commit the offences because of the nature of his relationship with the victim, which developed over several years.
These activities ranged from showering together and intimate touching before eventually escalating to raping her. She cried in pain and asked him to stop, but he ignored her. The man also told the victim not to tell anyone about what had happened.One was when the victim’s siblings were sleeping in the bedroom, and her mother was not home.
By this time, the man was no longer living in the apartment. He had moved out in August 2022 following a dispute with the victim’s mother.
