Daily Express, Kota Kinabalu, 29 January 2008Incest: Farmer gets 12 years, 3 strokesKeningau: A 37-year-old farmer was sentenced to 12 years' jail and ordered to be given three strokes of the cane by the Sessions Court here Monday for raping his underage stepdaughter two years ago. The farmer pleaded guilty before Judge Duncan Sikodol to committing the offence between 9pm and 5am in September 2005 in a house in Kampung Kitou, Tambunan. The girl was then 15 years three months old. Prosecuting Officer Chief Inspector Ramona Albert told the court that the victim's grandmother lodged a police report when the girl gave birth to a baby girl at the Keningau Hospital on April 21, 2006. She said a deoxyribonucleic acid (DBA) test confirmed the farmer was the father of the baby. The farmer was charged under Section 376B(1) of the Penal Code, which carries imprisonment of not less than six years and not more than 20 years, and shall also be liable to whipping on conviction. In another case, a 21-year-old local was jailed eight years and ordered to be whipped three times for raping his 14-year-and-five-month-old cousin at 11.30pm in May 2006 in a house in Kampung Gunting, Tenom. Ramona told the court that initially the girl refused to give in to the youth's sexual desire but later agreed and from then on they continued their affairs whenever they were left only in the house. She said in June 2006 the girl missed her period and confronted the youth to own up of making her pregnant. The youth refused and wanted the girl to go for an abortion. The girl told her mother about the matter and a police report was made on Dec 6, 2006, which led to the arrest of the youth. The girl was sent to the Likas General Hospital for medical check-up which confirmed she was eight months pregnant. The prosecuting officer said the girl gave birth to a baby boy on Jan 13, 2007 and a DNA test confirmed the accused is the father of the child. The youth was charged under Section 376 of the Penal Code, punishable with imprisonment for a term of not less than five years and not more than 20 years and also liable to whipping.
