SINGAPORE – For five years from 2018 to 2023, a teenage boy sexually assaulted his younger sister, with the sexual abuse later escalating to rape.
The assaults only came to light when the girl eventually told their mother what her brother had done, and their father made a police report.
On April 6, the teen, now 19, pleaded guilty to two aggravated outrage of modesty charges and one charge of aggravated rape.
He is expected to be sentenced on May 7. He cannot be named due to a gag order to protect his sister’s identity.
In 2018, the boy had been watching pornography and wanted to replicate the sexual acts he had seen on his sister, who was around eight or nine years old at the time.
Seeing that their parents were not home, he went into his sister’s room, asked her to lie down on the bed and molested her.
“Following this first sexual assault, the victim, who had previously been close with the accused, started to fear him,” said Deputy Public Prosecutors Hidayat Amir and Yeo Kee Hwan.
The teen continued to sexually assault the victim. On one occasion, he requested his sister to perform oral sex on him but she refused.
On another occasion, he showed his sister a pornographic video while in her room. Their mother, who got home earlier than usual, saw this and scolded him.
