A MAN who molested his two step-daughters was jailed for 15
months and ordered to be given six strokes of the cane on
Tuesday.
The 39-year-old man, who cannot be named, admitted to squeezing
the breasts and placing his hand inside the pants of his
11-year-old stepdaughter in 2005.
The court heard that the girl had been sleeping and was too
frightened to move or shout for help.
He also admitted to touching the breasts and private part of the
younger stepdaughter, then aged 10, while she was sleeping in the
living room of the flat. He stopped when someone woke up.
Two other similar charges were taken into consideration.
He could have been jailed for up to two years or fined or caned
or received any two punishments.
