The case was heard by the High Court of Singapore

For more than 10 years, this father terrorized his entire family by repeatedly raping or sexually abusing his four daughters, and abusing them and his wife.

He also did not feed the children for almost a week as punishment because they did not do the housework to his liking.

The father’s criminal behavior came to light only when one of the daughters confided in the sisters, then persuaded by the sisters to file a police report.

On March 7, this 45-year-old Singaporean man had to plead guilty at the High Court after being detained since November 17, 2018 to serve the investigation.

The perpetrator has a total of 7 children – 5 from his current marriage and 2 older children from his previous marriage. He has been married to his current wife since 2001. Their seven children are 12 years old, 15 years old, 16 years old, 18 years old, 19 years old, 23 years old and 24 years old; in which 15-year-olds and 23-year-olds are boys.

Since about 2008, all have lived together in an apartment.

Court documents show that he began soliciting and showing pornography to his eldest daughter in 2004 when she was seven years old.

He then physically and sexually abused her several times between 2010 and 2012, before raping her in 2018.

He also raped and sexually abused his 19-year-old daughter from 2014 to 2018; at the same time sexually abusing an 18-year-old girl at least 3 times in 2018.

As for his wife, he punched and slapped her repeatedly in 2007 and 2013. He also punched his 15-year-old son several times over three years – from a 10-year-old boy to 12 years old.

The court also added that the father targeted his 16-year-old daughter when she was in fifth grade.

He abused her several times in 2018, often on evenings when her mother was at work. He also forced me not to talk about this with anyone.

In 2018, he forced his daughter to have sex with him every month, or else he would not let her go to school. This made her afraid of being at home all day and more likely to be sexually abused.

She was afraid to tell anyone and was afraid that no one would believe her.

Also in 2018, he conducted a “body check” for this girl and her two daughters – the girls were 13, 15, and 16 years old at the time.

That same year, during a holiday in September, he got angry when his three older sisters took the children to the playground before finishing the housework.

As punishment, he did not feed the children for 4 days, throwing away all the food in the house. He also forbade his wife to cook. He asked his wife and other children to go out to eat if they were hungry.

The mother secretly gave her children some packets of chicken rice, biscuits and chips.

He also cut off power to lights, refrigerators and air conditioners. The whole family was only allowed to eat and drink again after 4 days and it was also the birthday of one of the children.

About 2 months later, the 3rd and 4th girls asked the 5th girl what happened when she came out of her parents’ bedroom. The girl told everything and they decided to pretend to take out the trash to go to a police station far from home to report.

The father searched for his three daughters at three police stations but could not find them. Investigators later discovered that he had visited 10 websites, including one with instructions on how to cheat with a polygraph.

Court documents show that he asked his wife to convince his third daughter to lie to the police to get away with the crime. However, late that afternoon, he was arrested.

The 5th daughter was taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital for 1 week treatment. She then rested in a children’s home for about two weeks before returning home.

The defendant was sentenced to 32 years in prison and 24 times of caning, with prosecutors noting that his behavior was “chillingly brazen” because he abused the victim even when other children is outside the room.

Prosecutors argued: “The loss of their innocence and childhood is something that can never be changed. The consequences cannot be erased for each victim and the family in general. That is something that no sentence can summarize and no punishment can erase.”

“If he hadn’t been caught, his youngest daughter – who was nine years old at the time – could very well have been a victim.”
