While sentencing, the Suva High Court Judge said that instead of being a protector, the man became a predator in his own house. The judge also mentioned there was a serious breach of trust and the father exploited the victim’s vulnerability.
A non-parole period of two years, eight months and 22 days have been set. The man has 30 days to appeal his case.
