A convict said he raped a young stepdaughter as part of her sex education.

“When she grows up, she will have sex with... I wanted to tell her about the birds and bees in advance. It was a kind of sex education,” said the man who is serving a six-year sentence for the rape.

He made the remarks, while undergoing an intensive rehabilitation program for convicts.

A consultant participating in the rehabilitation program said he was embarrassed when the convict told him that “I have already received due punishment as I served five of a six-year term as of today. God forgave me. Haven’t I paid enough for what I did?”

He showed few signs of repenting of what he did against the female student, the consultant said.

According to prosecution officials, he used to sit the stepdaughter beside him and watched porn before raping her.

As a result, she became pregnant when she was a senior at middle school, they said.
