The offenses occurred between 2022 and 2023, when the half-sister was aged eight to nine. The man, who was around 19 to 21 years old at the time, confessed to his father after his arrest for voyeurism.

The judge deemed the man's actions not due to youthful indiscretion, and he was granted bail pending sentencing.",
