Between 2012 and 2013, the man, now 69, would give her massages and touch her inappropriately while her six siblings slept in the next room. The offences came to light in 2017 when a neighbour was investigated for sexually abusing the girl, who is now 18. The neighbour has been dealt with and sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment and 16 strokes of the cane. Yesterday, the grandfather, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the girl, was sentenced to five years' jail for two counts of outraging the modesty of a minor under the age of 14.
