A 68-year-old man who raped a domestic worker in 2020 while his family was overseas was sentenced to 19½ years’ jail on Jan 24.
In November 2024, Justice Mavis Chionh found him guilty of two charges of rape and two charges of outrage of modesty, but acquitted him of a charge of sexual assault by penetration.On Jan 24, after he was told by the judge that he had the right to appeal against the conviction and sentence if he wished to do so, the man said he intends to hire a lawyer for his appeal.
This indicated that he had already formed the intention to commit sexual acts against the victim, said the prosecution.In the early hours of Jan 6, the distraught woman called her sister. In November 2024, when convicting the man of the four charges, Justice Chionh said the complainant’s testimony was corroborated by the CCTV footage and the man’s own admissions.
