Father's Prison Sentence Increased to 15 Years for Raping Daughter

The prison sentence of a father convicted of raping his minor daughter has been increased from 13 to 15 years following an appeal by the Attorney General. The case involved sexual abuse that lasted for several years, with the report being made when the victim was able to realize and report the acts. The father had been found guilty on six counts, while the defendant's appeal was dismissed. 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 had to leave her family and receive psychological support. Restrictive measures were also imposed to protect other children.
