A 38-year-old Singaporean man was sentenced to 21 years in prison and 16 canings for sexually exploiting and raping his 13-year-old niece over a period of almost two years. The man reportedly became jealous when his niece started dating a schoolmate, threatening to leak her nude photos. According to prosecutors, the uncle took advantage of his niece during staycations, molesting her while they were alone in his room and later raping her after drinking alcohol.

The victim sought help from her teacher after enduring his manipulative behavior, leading to the police investigation and the man's conviction for statutory rape and sexual assault.
