Argentinian Man Had Five Children With Daughter which he kept locked up since childhood




In a case that echoes the horrifying crimes of Josef Fritzl, an Argentinian man had five children with the daughter he kept locked up in his home since childhood, according to police there.
The 53-year-old is accused of repeatedly raping the woman, who is now aged 31, and threatening their children, aged two to 13.
He allegedly kept her captive inside their Mendoza home over a period of 12 years since her childhood.
He was arrested when the husband of another daughter contacted police.
Manuel Ontiveros, from the Mendoza police sex crime unit, said: “The complainant stated the girl had no boyfriend and it was the father who had abused her and got her pregnant.

“The man sometimes passed his daughter off as his wife, when he was asked by neighbours or people outside of the family.”
The accused had previously escaped a prison term after he was arrested for abusing one of his other daughters, who then left home.

A police source explained: “But as it was not rape, they gave him a suspended sentence and he was not jailed.”
Local police are also probing whether the girl’s mother, who left the family home six years ago, was complicit in her former husband’s alleged sex abuse.
Austrian monster Fritzl had seven children with the daughter he kept locked in a basement for 24 years.
