Justice Tan Siong Thye said the man had taken complete advantage of his daughters to satisfy his sexual perversion.

SINGAPORE — A father of seven who sexually abused four daughters, raping three of them, and ill-treated a son was sentenced to 33 years, two months jail and 24 strokes of the cane on Friday (18 March).

This includes a seven-month jail term in lieu of 36 strokes of the cane, which cannot be imposed on the man as 24 strokes is the statutory maximum.

    Fuck the idea that any crime justifies the state enacting corporal punishment. If they can justify that it’s an acceptable punishment for anything they can justify it’s an acceptable punishment for anything

      This is a prime example of the slippery slope fallacy. Using the same argument, you could claim that prison shouldn’t be a thing because the state could abuse this power and imprison people for anything.
