A 67-year-old man was sentenced to 19-and-a-half years’ jail on Friday for raping his daughter’s domestic worker in Singapore while the family was away.
He informed the court that he would appeal against his conviction and sentence, and was given a stay of execution on imprisonment.
The man, who cannot be named due to a gag order, was previously found guilty of two charges of rape and two charges of outrage of modesty after a trial.
The prosecution’s case was that the man raped the helper while she was alone at home with him on the night of January 5, 2020. The rest of the family were overseas.
According to the prosecution, he invited the her to watch television with him and offered her wine. He also gave her “supplement injections”.
