A 47-year-old company director, who raped his son's former girlfriend, had his first sexual relationship at age 13 with his family's maid, based on his account to a government psychiatrist after his arrest.
The man also told the psychiatrist that his father had multiple affairs with women he would bring home, and that his mother once overdosed on pills she was taking to cope with the stress caused by her husband's infidelity.
These details emerged in the High Court on Friday (March 9) when former Institute of Mental Health consultant Bharat Saluja took the stand to testify that the accused was not suffering from any mental disorder at the time of the offences.
Dr Saluja was disputing the opinion of defence psychiatrist Tommy Tan who had concluded in a report that the accused was suffering from major depressive disorder at the time as a result of various stressors at work and at home.
On Tuesday (March 6), the man, who cannot be named under a gag order, admitted that he had sexually abused the girl over a period of 1½ years when she was between 11 and 13 years old.
