SINGAPORE: A teen sexually abused his younger sister as he had a poor relationship with his parents and begrudged them for leaving him in the care of his grandparents while they went overseas to study.
The 18-year-old Singapore permanent resident committed four offences between 2011 and 2013. He was sentenced to reformative training yesterday after admitting to one charge of sexual penetration of a minor without her consent in September 2013. He was 16 at the time and she, 10.
The court heard that the Malaysia-born teen was brought up by his grandparents here till the age of seven. His parents had gone overseas to study and the victim was born in 2002 while they were away.
After the accused had performed an indecent act on his sister and made her perform oral sex on him between 2011 and 2012, their parents had tried to keep them apart as much as possible, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Gabriel Choong Hefeng.
On Sept 26, 2013, the accused committed the offence. After the incident, he told her not to tell anyone about what he had done.
The incident came to light on Oct 1 that year when a school counsellor asked her about her home environment. — The Straits Times/Asian News Network
