The warning came as a 53 year old man was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment for raping a relative.
The victim was 12 years old when the offense was committed in the accused’s home in 2015.
The accused, who has six children, was found guilty and sentenced by Justice Tafaoimalo Leilani Tuala-Warren this week.
The court heard the victim was raped twice in the home.
The accused was described as caring and humble, supportive of his family and active in their village matters.
