A 38-year-old man in Singapore has been sentenced to 21 years in prison and 16 strokes of the cane for repeatedly engaging in sexual activities with his 13-year-old niece over nearly two years. The abuse included the use of bondage equipment such as a blindfold and rope, as well as threats to expose her intimate images. The man, who is the victim's paternal uncle, manipulated the girl into a relationship by guilt-tripping her whenever she attempted to end it. The abuse escalated after the girl began dating a schoolmate, prompting the uncle to threaten to share her nude content online. Prosecutors described the relationship as exploitative, noting the uncle's repeated violations of the girl's innocence and the family's trust. The case highlights concerns about familial abuse and the legal system's response to statutory rape and sexual exploitation.
