Man Jailed for 28 Years After Force-Feeding 13YO with Vodka Then Raping Her in Kallang

The sad and unfortunate fact is that cases of sexual abuse occur all the time.

Despite the trauma and mental anguish it causes victims and the stiff penalties involved, many sexual deviants continue to torment victims.

And this particular case is as callous as any you’ll hear.

Man Force-Fed 13YO with Vodka Then Raped Her in Kallang

What started as a chance meeting between acquaintances ended with a brutal sexual assault in a secluded park.

The horrifying incident took place sometime between 9pm and 11pm on 24 Oct 2017 at Kallang Riverside Park.

The man, Muhammad Alif Ab Rahim, 35, knew the victim as she was friends with his girlfriend at the time.

Alif occasionally stayed over at his girlfriend’s house and the victim, who was 13 years old at the time, called him “uncle”.

On that fateful day, the victim went to deliver cigarettes to a friend, but decided to go to the Kallang Riverside Park along the way.

There, she bumped into Alif, who suggested they buy drinks and hang out in the park for a chat.

The two sat at the end of the jetty overlooking the river and Alif took out a bottle of vodka from his bag.

He asked if she wanted some, but she declined so he poured some for himself and cola for her.

Then, things took a left turn.

After drinking a few cups of vodka mixed with some cola and talking about his relationship problems, Alif suddenly leaned forward and kissed the victim.

This shocked the victim, and she tried to move away. But Ali snatched her phone, sat on top of her, and lifted her shirt so he could molest her.

She shouted for help repeatedly, but because they were in a secluded part of the park, no one heard her cries for help.

As she shouted, Alif placed the bottle of vodka at her mouth, pressed her cheeks to force open her mouth, and poured the vodka in.

She tried to spit the vodka out but since her mouth was forced open she was forced to swallow some of it.

Then, when the victim tried to run away, Alif pushed her against the fence and blocked her escape. He then dragged her to the ground and sexually assaulted her.

He slapped the girl when she resisted, then raped and sodomised her. He continued to force-feed her vodka as he sexually assaulted her.

He then forced her to perform oral sex on him, and she felt like vomiting from the assault.

After the horrific ordeal, Alif told the victim not to inform anyone about what happened, and left the area.

Dizzy and in pain, the 13-year-old eventually managed to crawl from the jetty to a grass patch near the toilet.

There she sent voice messages via WhatsApp to her aunt, a friend, and the friend’s mother telling them she had been raped.

She couldn’t explain herself clearly, however, and didn’t know where she was.

She was hoping to be rescued by a passer-by, but was confronted by Alif again, as he returned on a shared bicycle and again threatened her not to tell anybody before leaving again.

The girl’s friends eventually found her lying on top of a drain in the park. She had difficulty walking. She told them that it was Alif who raped her.  The victim’s grandparents then arrived at the park and called the police.

At this point, Alif returned to the park with his girlfriend and met the victim, her friends, and grandparents.

The girl pointed out to Alif as her rapist before collapsing.

Alif, however, denied raping the victim and even threatened the victim’s grandmother that if anything happened to him, he would harm the victim’s family.

He then fled when he saw two police officer approach. The victim was brought to the hospital by ambulance.

Hid Inside a Cupboard

This man clearly wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

Several hours after the incident, at about 5am on 25 Oct 2017, police officers arrived at the home of Alif’s girlfriend, but he locked himself in the bedroom.

When officers forced their way in, they found him hiding inside a cupboard.

Instead of admitting to his misdeeds, Alif lied to officers, saying he was looking for his girlfriend at the park and never met the victim that night.

But he changed his story a year later while in remand, claiming the victim came on to him and asked him to have sex with her.

The girl suffered bruises on her wrists and lacerations to her elbow, knees, and back.

She was assessed to have clear symptoms of trauma and had to be treated two to three times a month.

Her trauma was triggered whenever she saw other men. She also has flashbacks when she watches movies with rape scenes.

In Feb 2019, a report indicated that the victim still woke up crying from nightmares of Alif and was afraid of going out alone.

28 Years’ Jail & 24 Strokes of the Cane

On Friday (19 March), a court sentenced Alif to 28 years’ jail and 24 strokes of the cane for what the judge called “a harrowing two-hour ordeal of rape and repeated sexual assault”.

The 35-year-old had pleaded guilty to one count of rape of a minor and two counts of sexual assault by penetration of a minor.

He has been jailed five times before for theft, cheating, robbery, criminal breach of trust, and sexual assault by penetration.

His defence lawyer argued that her client has a low IQ and was previously diagnosed with anti-social personality disorder.

The prosecution, however, pointed out that Alif has no mental illness and knew it was wrong to sexually assault an underage girl.

Alif will be 63 when he gets out of prison, while the victim will have to live with the traumatic memory of her ordeal forever.

“The accused’s sexual assaults have left an indelible scar in her mind,” Deputy Public Prosecutor Gregory Gan said.
