A Fritzl Now In Australia – He Fathered Four Children

by Gopalan on January 29, 2010 at 5:15 PM Medico Legal News

Yet another sickening incest story – of a father who abused his daughter for nearly three two decades. This one from Australia. He fathered four children with her.

The abuse began when the girl was a teenager and the father would kiss and indecently touch her, the Victorian County Court was told on Friday.

The abuse sometimes took place in public and in front of her friends and soon progressed to rape.

The court heard the man raped his daughter on a weekly, sometimes daily basis.

The woman feared that if she fled her father would hunt her down, find her and kill her, the court was told.

On one occasion, when the daughter stood up to the father to refuse his advances, he pushed her against a wall and said “I'll teach you to knock me back”.

The court also heard how one of the children he fathered died soon after birth. The other three suffer from intellectual disabilities.

The sexual abuse dates back to 1977 and lasted 28 years.

Police used DNA testing to prove the man fathered four of the woman's children.

Crown Prosecutor Amanda Forrester said the hapless girl continually ran away and lived in hostels or on the streets, fearing him.

She repeatedly sought the help of social workers, but in vain. On one occasion she was sent back to the incest hell because the Social Welfare department could not find an accommodation for her.
