21 years’ jail, caning for man who repeatedly had sex with niece, 13; used blindfold, rope on her
Prosecutors said the man robbed his niece of her innocence by taking her virginity when she was 13 years old.
A 38-year-old man was sentenced to 21 years in prison and 16 lashes for repeatedly having sexual relations with his underage niece, who was 13 at the time. The uncle, who is also the victim's paternal uncle, manipulated the girl into the relationship by using guilt-trips and threats to distribute her intimate photos and videos. The court documents reveal that the offender had a close relationship with the victim's father and began having sex with her as early as when she was 13.
The offender even used bondage equipment on her, despite the girl's protests. In 2024, the girl began dating her teenage schoolmate and confided in her uncle about their relationship. In response, the uncle threatened to leak her intimate photos and videos online, but was later found not to have acted on the threat. The girl eventually sought help from her teacher and the uncle was arrested.
