Rape trial of mentally disabled teen: Victim's mother's boyfriend takes the stand

A crane operator, who was considered a "father" by an alleged rape victim, said the accused's wife had helped to remove the victim's jeans during the alleged rape.

Giving testimony in the High Court on Thursday on the fourth day of an ongoing trial, the crane operator, who is the boyfriend of the victim's mother, said this was what the 21-year-old had told him after the incidents that took place in March 2010.

The girl, who is intellectually disabled and 18 at the time of the alleged incident, had also told him that instead of stopping her husband, the accused's wife "encouraged" the rape to happen.

"When she (the victim) said this to me, she was crying and in fear," the crane operator said. He added that he had known the victim since birth and would send her to primary school when she was young. He cannot be named as this could lead to the victim's identification.

Man in rape case 'was framed by younger brother': Lawyer
16 May 2013

The man on trial for allegedly raping his teenage half-sister was framed by another family member, the defence claimed yesterday.

According to a report in The Straits Times, lawyer S. K. Kumar said the 39-year-old had fallen victim to a plot hatched by his younger brother – who sent the intellectually disabled girl to the flat where the 2010 attack is said to have taken place.

He claimed the younger sibling had kept all of the proceeds from the sale of their late father’s property.

Fearing that the eldest would start pestering him for his inheritance, the younger brother then allegedly came up with a plan to get him put in prison.

Yesterday, however, the 38-year-old sibling denied the allegations when he took the witness stand on the third day of the trial.

“The flat was left by my father to me,” he retorted. “What does it have to do with my brother? What does it have to do with this case?”

The two men have the same mother as the alleged victim but a different father.

In 2006, the girl moved in with the younger brother in his family’s four-room flat.

He said he decided to send her to the flat of his older brother, who was stricter and would be able to control her.

It was only when they arrived that he realised his sibling lived in a one-room unit. Two days later, he got a call from his older brother saying the girl had run away with his mobile phone and money.

His wife then called him, saying neighbours had told her the teenager had been raped. He called his older brother, who denied carrying out the attack.

A day later, he was told by an uncle that the girl was in hospital. When he visited her there, she was walking in a strange manner and told him that the older brother had sexually abused her.

Alleged rape victim wanted to 'repent' for previous sexual encounters: Teacher

A housewife, who gave religious lessons to an alleged rape victim, said the intellectually disabled teen wanted to "repent" for her previous sexual encounters.

The 51-year-old, who cannot be named as it could lead to the victim's identity, said she started giving the teen lessons two months before her alleged rape. The housewife took the stand on Wednesday on the third day of an ongoing trial.

Then 18-years-old, the victim was allegedly raped by her 39-year-old half-brother over two nights in March 2010 when she was staying in his one-room flat. But, it emerged in court on Monday that she had sex in a hotel with a stranger who approached her just one or two days after the alleged rape. Her teacher told the High Court on Wednesday that she was "shocked" to learn of this adding: "I thought she was repentant (of her previous sexual encounters)".

She added that she offered to teach the victim after meeting her in January 2010. The girl had told her and her husband that she had engaged in sex with men before and had gone through an abortion. On Monday, defence lawyer S.K. Kumar had suggested that the victim would not have done this if she had been sexually abused. Yet under questioning by Deputy Public Prosecutor S. Sellakumaran, a psychiatrist had told the court that a person with low intelligence is more easily induced into agreeing to sex if offered money or food.
