SINGAPORE – A domestic helper has been sentenced to three years’ jail after taking obscene videos and photos of three young siblings under her care and sending most of them to her husband.
The materials she sent featured a one-year-old boy and his four-year-old non-verbal brother who has autism. She committed the offence to show her husband how “mischievous” she found them to be.
The 29-year-old Indonesian woman also punched the older boy’s head multiple times, sprayed water directly in his younger brother’s face, and took obscene videos of their seven-year-old sister.
Before handing down the sentence on Oct 30, District Judge Sharmila Sripathy-Shanaz said that the case involved a “profound betrayal of trust”.
She also noted that the four-year-old victim was unable to talk about the acts of abuse, and was wholly dependent on the offender.
The offender, who cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the identities of the children, had pleaded guilty to two counts of ill-treating a child, and one count of electronically transmitting obscene materials to her husband in Indonesia.
Six other charges were considered during her sentencing.
