KLANG: The High Court here has set aside a 1,050-year jail sentence – the highest to date for a rape offence – imposed on a man for raping his underage stepdaughter, and reduced it to 42 years.

Judge Datuk Azmi Abdullah made the decision on Monday (March 7) after allowing an appeal by the 34-year-old accused against the original sentence by the Klang Sessions Court.
