In Singapore, a 38-year-old man was sentenced to 21 years in prison and 16 strokes of the cane for sexually exploiting his 13-year-old niece. The man, who cannot be named to protect the victim's identity, pleaded guilty to six charges including statutory rape and sexual assault. The court heard that the uncle and niece grew closer after the victim turned 13, with the uncle taking her out on special occasions and eventually engaging in sexual acts with her.
Despite the teenager's relationships with other boys, the uncle continued to exploit her sexually, even going so far as to demand that she continue to have sex with him as punishment. In June 2024, the uncle discovered that his niece had a TikTok account linked to a schoolmate, which further enraged him. He threatened to leak the girl's nude photos and videos, and she was forced to cut off contact with her schoolmate to appease her uncle. The victim finally informed a teacher about her uncle's actions, leading to his arrest.
