The youngest of four brothers who sexually assaulted their younger sister over at least three years was on July 3 sentenced to nine years’ jail and 24 strokes of the cane.He was between 13 and 16 years old when he sexually assaulted his sister, and is the last of his brothers to be sentenced.
He claimed that he was addicted to pornography, and chose to sexually assault the victim instead of his younger sisters as he knew the victim trusted him and would not report his crimes to anyone. The court heard that the family lived in a flat with three bedrooms – the parents used the master bedroom, the brothers occupied another room, while the victim and her two younger sisters shared the third.
Despite this, the youngest of the four brothers went into the girls’ room to sexually assault the victim, even when his other sisters were sleeping in the same room.After each assault, he would tell her not to tell anyone about what he had done. On Feb 10, 2022, the victim, who was then in Secondary 1, found the courage to tell the school about the abuse. The Ministry of Social and Family Development was alerted, and a police report was made.
In meting out the sentence, Justice Mavis Chionh said the offender abused the trust the victim reposed in him as her older brother, calling his acts undeniably predatory and opportunistic.
