A 70-year-old man in Singapore was convicted of molesting his daughter when she was between five and seven years old. The victim, now 30, left home at 21 after feeling she could no longer live with him. The man contested the charges, claiming doubts about the incidents and suggesting the victim had false memory syndrome. The victim testified that the abuse occurred frequently over a span of years. The judge found the victim's account credible.
The incidents took place at the family home. The victim disclosed the abuse to her boyfriends and eventually moved out in 2015. She returned to Singapore after studying in the UK. The victim detailed two specific incidents of molestation by her father, which were witnessed only by her. The defence argued for acquittal, questioning the victim's motives and mental health history.
The victim's mother testified in support of the accused, describing him as a loving father. The offender will return to court for sentencing in September, facing a maximum of two years in jail for each charge of molestation.
