On Wednesday (8 April), a 54-year-old man in Sabah, Malaysia was sentenced to 165 years in prison and 110 strokes of the cane after pleading guilty to raping his two daughters.

Judge Suhaila Selag handed down the sentence at the Sessions Court after the defendant entered his plea for all 11 charges.

Daughters endured years of abuse and threats

The case came to light after the two daughters, now aged 22 and 25, lodged a report at a police station in Tawau on 22 March.

According to police, the abuse began when the victims were only 15 and 18 years old.

The father subjected his daughters to repeated sexual assault at various locations across Lahad Datu and Tawau.

Investigations revealed that he consistently coerced them into sexual acts by threatening them with physical violence if they refused.
