Father Abused Disabled Daughters For 41 Years
This case is just so disgusting, I just cannot even start imagining the pain and suffering of these two women. One of them have been sexually abused since the age of 4 and the other since the age of 12. 41 years!
VIENNA -Â An 80-year-old man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of locking up his two mentally disabled daughters in a small room for 41 years, sexually abusing them, and beating and threatening them to keep them subservient.
Alois Lissl, a senior state police official, said the father -- from the Upper Austrian village of St. Peter am Hart -- is suspected of assault, torture or neglect of defenseless individuals, threat to life or physical condition, r-pe and other sex crimes. The man had been at liberty and living in a senior citizens' home.
Lissl said the man will be questioned by an investigative judge within the next 48 hours, who will decide whether to keep him confined.
Police said the man's daughters -- now 53 and 45 years old -- have accused him of repeatedly raping them at their home between 1970 and May 2011. The women said their father repeatedly warned he would kill them if they resisted, occasionally threatening them with firearms, said Lissl.They also said that their mother, who died several years ago, was also repeatedly abused by the suspect.
