While it is unclear what the man's sentence would be or if the woman will be charged at all, but a man who raped his own daughter since she was just three years old was sentenced to 28 years in prison, in 2021.
The man moved to Singapore in 2008 with his wife and their daughter, whom he started sexually abusing when she was just 3 years old and continued to do so for nearly eight years, with the offenses escalating to rape. The alleged offenses would take place when the wife went to work, leaving the father alone with the victim. The vile man not only assaulted his daughter, but he also sexually abused his daughter's friend when she came home.
Between December 2011 and June 2019, he assaulted his own daughter more than 10 times but less than 20 times, according to the man's own admission. The poor girl suffered in silence because she did not want to be the reason for her parents' split. But, the crimes came out when a friend learned about her abuse.
