SINGAPORE – A private-hire driver with grandchildren of his own repeatedly molested the young child of his daughter’s neighbour in 2016 to satisfy his own sexual urges, a district court heard on Friday (March 27).
The victim, who was between 10 and 11 years old at the time, suffered in silence as she did not know how to seek help.
She also feared that her mother would not believe her if she opened up about her ordeal.
The child finally broke her silence to a social worker in 2017 after both her parents were sent to jail for reasons not stated in court documents. The social worker then accompanied her to make a police report in September that year.
The 69-year-old man was sentenced on Friday (March 27) to three years, three months and 12 weeks’ jail after pleading guilty to three counts of outraging the girl’s modesty.
