Nora's parents were divorced when she was only three, and she had longed for a father figure.
When her mum started dating and married Ahmad, she treated him like her own father.
But he took advantage of the girl's trust and raped her in 2006 when she was only 10. And she suffered in silence until 2010, when she told her biological father what had happened.
Yesterday, Ahmad, 40, was sentenced to 26 years’ in jail and 24 strokes of the cane.
We are not giving their real names to protect the girl's identity.

Sex abuse of disabled children
DHAKA (Bangladesh) - HALF of all disabled children in impoverished Bangladesh have been sexually abused, often by close family relatives, according to a new study.
Some 52 per cent of girls and 48 per cent of boys aged between seven and 18 years have been abused, molested or raped, said the report by a Bangladeshi state-run foundation for the disabled and Save the Children.
'The majority of the attackers are male and some 40 per cent of the offenders are family members, which shows how vulnerable our disabled children are,' said Selina Ahmed of Save the Children.
'This is the first study carried out in Bangladesh on sexual abuse of disabled children and we have been shocked by the findings,' she told AFP on Wednesday.
The study was conducted on 216 children and 535 adults with hearing, vision, physical and mental disabilities. Researchers also interviewed family members, teachers and charity workers.
According to the study, children with mental problems face more harassment than other disabled children because they often cannot distinguish between sexual abuse and normal physical contact. -- AFP

A teacher from Pinal County was arrested after authorities apparently witnessed her having sex with a 14-year-old former student, according to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.
Andrea Martinez, 26, was taken into custody on suspicion of child molestation and sexual contact with a minor.
Officers in Stanfield noticed an SUV pulled off the road at 10:40 p.m. Wednesday near members of the Gila River Police Department, according to a statement from the Pinal County Sheriff's Office. Using night vision goggles, the officers noticed two people apparently having consensual sex.
The woman and teenager then left the SUV and began to argue before officers made contact, according to the statement.
Authorities said they later learned the male was 14 years old and the woman was Martinez, a teacher with the Stanfield Elementary School District. She was the teen's former teacher. According to the statement from the sheriff's office, Martinez and the boy told deputies they were having sex in the vehicle.
The boy said they also had sex a month earlier, according to the sheriff's office statement.
The Stanfield Elementary School District was notified of the arrest and is cooperating with the investigation, authorities said.
