The offender had pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated sexual assault by penetration in February.
SINGAPORE - One of four brothers who sexually abused their sister while he was a teenager was sentenced by the High Court on June 26 to reformative training for at least 12 months.
Seven other charges were taken into consideration during sentencing, comprising one count of aggravated sexual assault by penetration and six counts of outrage of modesty.The eldest, who pleaded guilty to eight charges of aggravated sexual assault by penetration and had been between 18 and 21 years old when he committed the offences, wassentenced to 18 years’ jail and 24 strokes
The prosecution had sought eight to nine years’ jail and 12 strokes of the cane, while defence counsel Ashvin Hariharan urged the court to accept the recommendations of a report that found his client suitable for reformative training. According to court documents, he had touched and sexually violated the victim on at least four occasions in 2020, even as she tried to resist his advances.
On Feb 10, 2022, she finally found the courage to tell the authorities in her school about the abuse. This led to the Ministry of Social and Family Development being alerted, which in turn led to the lodging of a police report.
