Summary
A 71-year-old Singaporean man has been sentenced to jail for sexually abusing his daughter and granddaughters over several years. Despite suffering from a rare blood cancer called myelofibrosis, the judge denied leniency, stating that neither age nor illness justifies such “depraved” actions. The sentence was intended to reflect the severity of his crimes without equating it to a life term given his medical condition.

Story summary
A 71-year-old Singaporean man diagnosed as a pedophile has been jailed for sexually abusing his daughter and granddaughters. Despite suffering from a rare blood cancer called myelofibrosis, the judge ruled that neither age nor illness diminished the severity of his crimes, which she described as "appalling." The perpetrator had previously been punished and prosecuted twice but continued to abuse his family members even after being diagnosed in 2021. Judge Mavis Chionh rejected any plea for leniency due to his health condition, emphasizing the persistent nature of his offenses against those who trusted him.
