A MAN who molested his 14-year-old daughter more than three years ago was jailed for 18 months and ordered to be given three strokes of the cane on Friday.
The 45-year-old lorry driver pleaded guilty earlier this week to touching the private parts of the girl - who has borderline intelligence - at their Sengkang flat in 2007.
The court heard that one day in 2007, the accused called the victim, now 18, into his bedroom to check whether she was still a virgin. His wife was not at home then.
He told her to keep quiet while he slipped his hand under her track pants and panties.
The offence came to light when the girl told her school teacher what her father had done in March 2010.
The accused could have been jailed for up to two years, fined, caned or received any of the punishments.
