Not made clear here whether UNNAMED DAD was custodial or simply had custody/visitation rights. At any rate, there was no mother in the home. And Daddy obviously had plenty of child access.

SINGAPORE: A father of three was sentenced on Tuesday to three years' jail and eight strokes of the cane for molesting his daughter.
The 49-year-old divorcee molested the child twice in 2010; once when she was nine years old in February 2010 and once after she turned 10 in December 2010. Both offences happened in their home at Tanglin Halt Road.
A third similar charge was taken into consideration.
In mitigation, the jobless man's lawyer said his client realises the gravity of the offences. The lawyer added that the accused is very angry with himself and misses his children.
However the district judge pointed out that the molest was a "perverse" and even "heinous" act. What was really appalling, the judge said, was that the victim was his biological daughter.
He said the accused had abused the trust placed in him as a father.
