But during their fourth meeting, the man raped her.
On Sept 27, the 47-year-old man was sentenced to 16 years' jail and 12 strokes of the cane by the High Court after he pleaded guilty to a charge of rape, a charge of drug possession and a charge of drug consumption.
Another five drug-related charges were taken into consideration in sentencing.
The man also has to serve 753 days as enhanced punishment because these offences were committed while he was still under a remission order.
He cannot be named owing to a gag order to protect the identity of the victim, who is now 23 years old.
Prosecutors told the High Court that the victim was raised by her maternal grandparents.
She had never met her biological father until 2019, as he was behind bars when she was born and throughout most of her childhood. Between 2017 and 2019, the victim connected with her biological sister. She then decided to find out more about her father.
In 2019, she visited him twice in prison, along with her sister and uncle.
The man was released on remission in March 2021.
