SINGAPORE – Before going to prison, a woman asked her husband to take care of his stepdaughter, but he raped the girl instead.
Deputy Public Prosecutors Marcus Foo, Yohanes Ng and Goh Qi Shuen said the man married the victim’s mother in Batam some time in 2015 and moved to a flat in Singapore in September 2017. He then pulled her down to the floor and removed her shorts and underwear before sexually assaulting her. He noticed her attempts to resist his assault both physically and verbally, said the prosecution.On another occasion that month, the girl was asleep on the sofa when the man pulled her down to the floor and removed her shorts and underwear.
The offences finally came to light when the woman, who had divorced him by then, called the police on Oct 5, 2021, over a separate incident involving her then boyfriend and her daughter. On Oct 6, 2021, a police report was made, and the man was arrested. The victim was then seen by a child psychiatrist.
