SINGAPORE: A woman testifying in a sex abuse trial told a court on Wednesday that she thought her husband's changes in behaviour were because he was interested in her teenage son's new girlfriend.
The prosecution's case is that the accused moved to stay with the victim's family in a one-room flat in 2007 and later in another two-room flat.The victim's mother often left him in the care of her husband when she went to work, and the boy looked up to him as a stepfather, sharing a close relationship with him.
According to the prosecution's case, the accused wanted to reinitiate his sexual activities with the victim, but the teen was not interested. "I was angry," said the woman, growing emotional."I asked , is this the truth, and he said this is the truth. I asked him, since Primary 3, or 4? He said since Primary 3 or 4, did that to him."
They went to the police station and gave their statements, and the victim later went to stay with an uncle. She called her older brother, who asked her to call the police, and he was later interviewed by the police. He gave statements to the police in March 2016, but waved it off as"nothing" when his wife asked him about it.
"He said that if he were to be found guilty, he would spend a long time inside in prison, so every day when I visit him, he will always talk about this. It was like a pressure on me. I felt stressed."
