A 47-year-old labourer and father of four is facing a prison sentence and whipping after pleading guilty to two charges of raping his 20-year-old daughter
The accused entered his plea before Magistrate Arun Noval Dass at the Batu Pahat Magistrate's Court today, 29 April, as reported by the New Straits Times.
According to the charges, the offences occurred at the accused's home between March last year and January this year.
Investigations revealed that the victim was coerced into complying with her father's demands through threats
The abuse came to light after the victim complained of stomach pain and was taken to a health clinic by family members, where a medical examination discovered that she was 18 weeks pregnant.
Following this discovery, the victim was referred to Sultanah Nora Ismail Hospital, where she disclosed a history of abuse and alleged that the accused had threatened her into silence.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Firdaus Ruslan appeared for the prosecution, while the accused was unrepresented
As the case falls under the jurisdiction of the Sessions Court, the mention of facts and sentencing have been scheduled for tomorrow, 30 April.
No bail was offered following the accused's guilty plea, and he faces up to 30 years' imprisonment and a minimum of 10 strokes of the rotan.
