A 63-year-old man has been found guilty of sexual intercourse with a dependent and indecent assault after abusing his wife’s 16-year-old niece while she was under his care. The victim, who moved into the household in 2018, initially viewed the accused as a father figure. However, she testified in court that he began entering her bedroom at night and inappropriately touching her while his son slept nearby. She further revealed that in November 2018, he drove her to a secluded farm, threatened her, and coerced her into submission. The accused denied the allegations, asserting that the teenager initiated the encounters and offered sexual favors. He also claimed that erectile dysfunction prevented intercourse, a statement corroborated by his wife. Despite being acquitted of rape, the jury convicted him of the other charges, highlighting the gravity of his actions.
