A man who was convicted of molesting his pre-teen daughter yesterday said he showed his private parts to her to educate her about appropriate behaviour in a relationship.
The 40-year-old molested the girl four times between September 2015 and October 2016 in their flat.
He had claimed trial to all four charges, arguing he had only shown her his private part to raise awareness about the boundaries in a friendship.
He later denied exposing himself at all, claiming he might have indicated the general area of his crotch to his children when advising them on their lives, Deputy Public Prosecutors Yvonne Poon and Tan Zhongshan said in written submissions.
In September 2015, the girl’s grandmother told the man’s wife, when the latter came home, that the victim had spent some time in the master bedroom with her father. The girl was then 12 years old.
The victim later told her mother he had molested her, then wiped her clean, and placed the used tissue in a plastic bag.
His wife confronted him and he confessed, crying and begging for forgiveness.
