A 62-year-old father has been sentenced to 13 years and nine months imprisonment for raping a 13-year-old girl.
While sentencing the man, High Court Judge Justice Vincent Perera says the man had abused his position of authority and trust.
Perera says the man had exploited the victim’s vulnerability.
The first incident happened on the 30th of December, 2011 when the victim was 13-years-old and living with the man’s family in Rotuma.
The non-parole period has been set for 10 years and nine months.
