FOR five years, a girl did not tell anyone that she had been raped by her father - until her teacher discussed fairytales during an English lesson.
The teacher, who used the story of Little Red Riding Hood to illustrate the dangers of talking to strangers, noticed that the Primary 6 pupil looked upset when asked if she had previous encounters with strangers.
Later, the girl told the teacher in private that her father had done the 'sex thing' to her.
When pressed further, she revealed that when she was in Primary 1, her father had raped her while her mother was at work and two older brothers were not at home.
On Monday, the 42-year-old man pleaded guilty in the High Court to one charge of raping his daughter in the family flat sometime in 2005.
A second charge of molesting the girl in January last year by touching her breast, will be taken into consideration when he is sentenced.
