A man who molested his daughter when she was between nine and 16
years old was jailed for outrage of modesty and
moneylending-related offences.
The 45-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect the victim's
identity, pleaded guilty to eight charges of molestation and
helping a loanshark in carrying on his business.
The court heard that the accused started molesting the victim in
2003 when she was nine. He molested her the following year. In
2010, she informed her mother what he had done. A police report was
made.
The victim told a senior consultant with the Child Guidance
Clinic that she felt embarrassed, sad and disgusted about what her
father had done to her. She also felt disturbed and troubled.
