He had taken his friend’s five-year-old daughter to a convenience store near her flat under the pretext of asking the girl to show him the way to her house.

However, he led her to a forested area in the vicinity of a slip road near East Coast Parkway.

There, Edi Anuar Abdul Aziz removed the girl’s clothing and put his finger into her private parts. The girl cannot be named to protect her identity.

Yesterday, the District Court sentenced Edi to 14 years’ jail and 24 strokes of the cane. Although the 47-year-old man faces seven charges, the prosecution proceeded with only four of the charges, which included drug-related and robbery offences.

When the sexual penetration offence took place on Oct 20, the girl’s father was in jail. Her mother later found the minor, crying and completely drenched as it was raining, at the void deck of her flat where Edi had left her.

A week earlier, Edi had robbed a 12-year-old girl of her Samsung Galaxy mobile phone, worth about S$300 at Sun Plaza Park. The phone was later recovered from a mobile phone shop.
