SINGAPORE: A man with five daughters and stepdaughters was sentenced to 16-and-a-half years' jail and 22 strokes of the cane on Thursday (Oct 8) for sexually abusing four of them.
The earliest known victim, who was molested in 2008, did not lodge a police report because her mother did not believe her and she feared the police would not believe her either.
The man was only arrested in November 2024, a year after his final assault against one of his stepdaughters, aged eight to nine at the time.
The 44-year-old Singaporean man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victims, pleaded guilty to one charge of aggravated statutory rape and two charges of aggravated molestation.
Another seven similar charges were taken into consideration.
The court heard that the man had eight children, a mix of biological and stepchildren, across three marriages. Five of whom are female.
The earliest known victim, identified as V2 in court documents, was the man's stepdaughter from his first marriage.
In 2008, when the offender was still married to his second wife, he molested V2 when she was 13.
Her mother did not believe her allegation. Afraid that the police would not believe her either, V2 did not lodge a police report.
The next known incident involved V1, the offender's biological daughter from his first marriage.
She was 17 when he molested her in 2020.
He molested V1 in a room after placing his 10-month-old daughter on V1's back.
V1 was shocked but did not lodge a police report as her family did not want her to do so.
She feared that she would be disowned or kicked out of the house if she went against their wishes by reporting her father.
On Mar 1, 2024, a child protection officer lodged a police report about the offence linked to V1, saying that V1 was seeing a psychiatrist and went to hospital for suicidal ideation.
The offender also molested V3, his biological daughter with his second wife.
After he divorced V3's mother in May 2016, he remained in contact with V3 and had her sleep over at his flat during the school holidays.
Sometime in November 2021, when V3 was 13, she stayed over at her father's flat intending to visit her paternal grandparents the next day.
Usually, she slept with the other children, but this time her father said there were problems with the air-conditioning.
He therefore had her sleep in his room that night with other family members.
While the man's third wife was busy performing other tasks outside the room that night, the offender lay down next to V3 and molested her.
V3 was shocked and froze, instinctively pretending that she was asleep.
The man continued molesting V3, stopping only when his wife called him.
V3 initially did not lodge a police report as she was afraid. She did so eventually on Jan 1, 2022.
Despite the police report, the offender continued his sexual abuse, targeting V4, his stepdaughter from his third marriage.
She considered the man a father figure and called him "daddy".
In 2020 or 2021, when V4 was five to seven years old, the offender molested her.
He did it again multiple times in 2023, when V4 was eight to nine years old.
Sometime in 2023, the man was playing a game with V4 on a PlayStation when he felt aroused by accidental contact with the child.
He made the girl perform a sex act.
A few weeks after this, he was wrestling with her in the bedroom when he began molesting her. He eventually stopped because he "felt bad".
On Nov 14, 2024, V4 was watching TikTok videos on her phone in a room.
From where she was, she could look into the master bedroom where the door was ajar.
The offender stood close to the door of the master bedroom and engaged in a sex act while looking at V4.
V4 felt that what he was doing was wrong and recorded a video of her stepfather, which she showed to a friend on TikTok.
Her friend told her to call the police, but V4 refused, as she did not want anything to happen to her family.
V4's friend, however, told a teacher about what happened and the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) was notified.
A child protection officer lodged a police report on Nov 15, 2024. The man was finally arrested later that same day.
He was assessed at the Institute of Mental Health and was found not to have any mental disorder.
Deputy Public Prosecutors Sean Teh and Ariel Tan sought 16-and-a-half years' jail and 22 strokes of the cane.
Mr Teh said this case involved "grave sexual exploitation" of four of the offender's children from 2008 to 2023.
The most serious of these were against V4, who was subjected to repeated sexual assault over a prolonged period.
The offender also had past convictions from 1998 to 2009, which include stealing a vehicle and committing an obscene act in a public place.
Justice Andre Maniam said sexual offences in the family context are particularly troubling.
"Not only do they often involve abuse of position and breach of trust, the offences may cause the victims lasting psychological harm and damage relationships within the family," he said.
"Given the nature of the offences and their setting, offences might not be reported until later on or not at all."
For aggravated statutory rape, the man could have been jailed for between eight and 20 years and given at least 12 strokes of the cane.
For aggravated molestation, he could have been jailed for up to five years, fined, caned, or given any combination of these punishments.

新加坡：一名男子与五个女儿和继女有五分之三，他因性侵其中四人，于周四（10 月 8 日）被判处 16 年半监禁和 22 下鞭刑。
已知最早的受害者于 2008 年遭到性侵，但她没有向警方报案，因为她的母亲不相信她，而且她也担心警方不会相信她。
该男子直到 2024 年 11 月才被逮捕，距离他最后一次袭击他的继女（当时 8 到 9 岁）已经过去了一年。
为了保护受害者的身份，这名44岁的新加坡男子不能透露姓名。他承认犯有一项加重法定强奸罪和两项加重猥亵罪。
另有七项类似指控也被纳入考虑范围。
法庭获悉，该男子有过三次婚姻，共育有八个孩子，包括亲生子女和继子女，其中五个是女儿。
已知最早的受害者，在法庭文件中被确认为 V2，是该男子与前妻所生的继女。
2008 年，该罪犯与第二任妻子仍处于婚姻关系中时，猥亵了当时 13 岁的 V2。
她的母亲不相信她的说法。V2担心警方也不会相信她，所以没有报警。
接下来已知的事件涉及 V1，她是罪犯与前妻所生的亲生女儿。
2020年，她17岁时遭到他的性侵。
他将自己 10 个月大的女儿放在 V1 的背上，然后在房间里猥亵了 V1。
V1 感到震惊，但由于家人不希望她这样做，所以她没有报警。
她担心如果违背家人的意愿举报父亲，就会被家人断绝关系或赶出家门。
2024 年 3 月 1 日，一名儿童保护官员就与 V1 有关的犯罪行为向警方报案，称 V1 正在接受精神科医生的治疗，并因有自杀倾向而入院治疗。
该罪犯还猥亵了他与第二任妻子所生的女儿 V3。
2016 年 5 月，他与 V3 的母亲离婚后，仍然与 V3 保持联系，并在学校假期期间让 V3 在他的公寓过夜。
2021 年 11 月的某一天，13 岁的 V3 在她父亲的公寓过夜，打算第二天去看望她的祖父母。
通常情况下，她和其他孩子一起睡，但这次她爸爸说空调出了问题。
因此，当晚他让她和其他家人一起睡在他的房间里。
当晚，当男子的第三任妻子在房间外忙于其他事情时，罪犯躺在V3旁边猥亵了她。
V3 吓了一跳，愣住了，本能地装作睡着了。
该男子继续骚扰 V3，直到妻子打电话给他才停止。
V3最初因为害怕而没有报警。她最终在2022年1月1日报了警。
尽管警方已立案调查，但该罪犯仍继续性侵，并将目标转向 V4，即他第三次婚姻所生的继女。
她把这名男子视为父亲般的人物，并称呼他为“爸爸”。
2020 年或 2021 年，当 V4 五岁到七岁时，犯罪者猥亵了她。
2023 年，V4 八九岁时，他又多次这样做。
2023 年的某个时候，这名男子在 PlayStation 上和 V4 玩游戏时，意外地与孩子发生了身体接触，并因此产生了性欲。
他强迫女孩进行性行为。
几周后，他在卧室里和她扭打在一起，期间开始猥亵她。他最终停止了，因为他“感到愧疚”。
2024年11月14日，V4在房间里用手机看TikTok视频。
从她所在的位置，她可以看到主卧室的门半开着。
犯罪嫌疑人站在主卧室门口附近，一边看着 V4 一边进行性行为。
V4 觉得他这样做不对，于是录制了她继父的视频，并在 TikTok 上给朋友看了。
她的朋友让她报警，但V4拒绝了，因为她不想让家人出事。
然而，V4 的朋友将发生的事情告诉了老师，社会及家庭发展部 (MSF) 也接到了通知。
2024年11月15日，一名儿童保护官员向警方报案。当天晚些时候，该男子最终被逮捕。
他在精神健康研究所接受了评估，结果显示他没有任何精神障碍。
副检察官郑世安和陈阿里尔要求判处被告 16 年半监禁和 22 下鞭刑。
Teh先生表示，此案涉及从2008年到2023年期间对罪犯的四个孩子进行“严重的性剥削”。
其中最严重的是针对 V4 的案件，他长期遭受反复性侵犯。
该罪犯在 1998 年至 2009 年间还有犯罪记录，包括盗窃车辆和在公共场所进行猥亵行为。
安德烈·马尼亚姆法官表示，家庭环境中的性犯罪尤其令人担忧。
他说：“这些罪行不仅常常涉及滥用职权和背信弃义，还可能对受害者造成持久的心理伤害，并破坏家庭内部关系。”
“鉴于犯罪的性质和发生地点，犯罪行为可能要过一段时间才会被举报，甚至根本不会被举报。”
对于加重法定强奸罪，该男子可能被判处 8 至 20 年监禁，并至少被鞭打 12 下。
对于加重性骚扰罪，他可能被判处最高五年监禁、罚款、鞭刑或上述任何组合处罚。
