13 to 15 Years Imprisonment for Father Sexually Abusing Minor Daughter

The prison sentence for a father who sexually abused his minor daughter has been increased from 13 to 15 years, following an appeal filed by the Attorney General, who deemed the initial sentence inadequate. The Court of Appeal rejected the defendant's appeal and upheld the increase in the sentence. The case involves six charges of rape and sexual abuse, and the complaint was filed five years after the events, when the victim was able to understand what had happened. The court emphasized that the defendant abused his position of trust as a father and sole guardian of his daughter, causing serious psychological consequences for the victim, who was forced to leave her family and be hospitalized. Restrictive measures were also imposed after the convicted person's release.
