Rapist dad saw teen daughter at police station, went home to change, then surrendered

The girl was shocked but did not react to the assault because she was afraid it would anger him.

A 15-year-old girl reported her rape to a police centre after her father sexually assaulted her. When the perpetrator discovered her at the station, he went home to change, then surrendered. The 51-year-old has pleaded guilty to rape, outrage of modesty, and criminal breach of trust, along with two other CBT charges and a charge of voyeurism.

He is set to be sentenced on November 2 for the CBT charges and the voyeurism charge, which pertain to the embezzlement of $23,000 from his employer between January 2023 and June 2023. The man has a history of various offenses, including cheating and CBT, with his last sentencing in 2009 for moneylending offences. The victim, who endured physical abuse throughout her childhood, including hair-pulling, hitting with a clothes hanger, and caning, was horrified but remained silent due to fear.

The perpetrator confronted her about the home's cleanliness, threw items onto the floor, dismantled CCTV cameras, and eventually molested and raped her when she did not respond. He had also taken obscene photos of her between 2021 and 2023.
