A HIGH Court judge has sentenced a father to ten years’ hard labour after he admitted to five counts of incest involving his 18-year-old daughter.
The sentence, handed down by Justice Nalini Singh last week, brought to an end a case that the court said represented a grave breach of parental trust and a reckless disregard for the young woman’s wellbeing.
According to the facts presented, the offences occurred between May 1 and June 30, 2021, during a two-month period when the victim was sent to live with her father, identified only as RM, for a short stay.
