SEREMBAN: A 47-year-old man was sentenced to serve 18 years in jail after he pleaded guilty at the Sessions Court here to a charge of raping his 11-year-old daughter.
"I hope this will serve as a lesson for you," she said after delivering her judgment here on Monday .
The man, a mechanic, was charged with committing the offence just after midnight at a house in Bahau between Dec 20 and 31, 2017. The accused was charged under Section 376 of the Penal Code which carries a jail term of between eight and 30 years.The accused also pleaded guilty to a second charge of committing physical sexual assault against the victim four months later.
He was charged under Section 14 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, punishable under Section 16 of the same legislation.He was charged with committing the offence at the same house between April 11 and 20, 2018.She ordered both the jail sentences to run concurrently."My wife is only a homemaker and she doesn't know how to drive."I am truly remorseful for what I did," he said.
According to the facts of the case, the victim only confided in a schoolmate about the rape and sexual assault earlier this month.Deputy public prosecutor Goh Hsiao Tung urged the court to impose a sentence commensurate with the crimes."The rape and physical sexual assaults would surely leave the victim traumatised for years," she added.
