S’pore man, 51, raped daughter, then 15; saw her at police station, went home to change into jeans before surrendering
He went looking for her after realising she was no longer in the flat.
In Singapore, a 51-year-old man faced charges in September 2024 for the rape of his 15-year-old daughter in August 2024. The assault occurred on August 10, 2024, when the father confronted his daughter about the cleanliness of their home and became enraged. He then molested and raped his daughter when she did not respond to his waking call.
The victim reported the incident to the Choa Chu Kang neighbourhood police centre on August 11, 2024. Upon realizing his daughter was not present at home, the father went looking for her and saw her at the police station, prompting him to surrender. He pleaded guilty to rape, outrage of modesty, and criminal breach of trust (CBT) charges.
Two additional CBT charges and a voyeurism charge involving photographs of the victim's chest were taken into consideration for sentencing. The sentencing will be decided on November 2, 2024. This man had a history of abuse and embezzlement; he had been physically and emotionally abusive towards his daughter since she was five years old and had embezzled S$23,000 from his employer between January and June 2023.
