SINGAPORE: For more than 30 years, a man sexually abused 11 young girls including his daughter, his two grandchildren, four nieces and four other children.
The girls were between the ages of five and 10 when he started preying on them, court documents showed.
The four other girls were children who attended an enrichment centre he ran with his wife, or were tutored by him when he conducted tuition lessons at home.
The man, now 71 and suffering from a rare blood cancer, admitted to 33 charges for various sexual offences on Friday (Jul 24).
He pleaded guilty to 10 of them for offences against six of his victims. The remaining 23 will be taken into consideration when he is sentenced in September.
The man raped his daughter, then 15 years old, in 2005. He told her not to tell anyone because the family would split up and that it would be her fault that her siblings did not have a family, the court heard.
After sexually assaulting his seven-year-old granddaughter in 2023, he told her that if she told anyone about the abuse, she would not be his favourite grandchild.
The man, who uses a wheelchair, cannot be named to protect the identities of his victims.
Deputy Public Prosecutors Jiang Ke-yue and Ronnie Ang argued for 32 to 36 years’ jail for the man.
