A man was jailed for 21 months on Monday for molesting his lover's teenage daughter and her cousin.
The 50-year-old accused had pleaded guilty midway through a trial to outraging the modesty of the then 14-year-old girl and her 13-year-old cousin at a flat in Jurong West two years ago (2009).
He cannot be named to protect the identities of the victims.
The court heard that at the time of the offences, he was in a relationship with the first victim's mother and would help out at the latter's farm mart.
He had been staying with the victim's family since 2006, and she had treated him as part of the family.
