SINGAPORE – An insurance agent and business owner became the caregiver to his secretary’s teenage daughters in 2012 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
When he was 64 years old, he allegedly entered into a relationship with the younger sibling who was 14.
That relationship culminated in the teenager becoming pregnant when she was 17 in 2015. She had reportedly aborted the child at his request.
On July 20, the now 77-year-old man sought to defend himself against 10 charges, which accuse him of committing obscene acts, and penetrating the victim on various occasions when she was between 14 and 16.
He cannot be named to protect the victim’s identity.
The prosecution will call five witnesses to testify during the trial, including with the victim and her mother.
The victim, who is now 27, was the prosecution’s first witness on July 20. The hearing was closed to the public and to the media.
The prosecution said the girl will testify the man had lied he was 40 years old at the time of the alleged offences. He also reportedly alienated her from her family by telling her that her father was a bad person.
