Man sexually abused sister for years, told daughter 'God made you to be my wife' after sexually assaulting her
A horror father in Australia has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after he sexually abused his sister and two daughters, telling them "God made you to be my wife." According to a report by The Sun, the traumatized women were subjected to blackmail, physical and religious indoctrination in order to keep them from speaking out.
The Adelaide, south Australia deviant — whose identity has not been revealed in order to protect his victims — reportedly forced his sister to watch him hack her pet guinea pig to pieces just to warn her against telling their parents about the abuse. Local media reported how he told one of his daughters that “God had made her to be like a wife" for him.
Adelaide Now reported how the the 62-year-old began his depraved activities in 1978 when he was 20 and his younger sister was just five years old. The corrupt pedophile, described by a judge as “manipulative, cruel and malevolent”, admitted to repeatedly abusing his sister for seven years until 1985. On several occasions, he reportedly let his friends sexually assault her while he watched on.
One instance saw the deviant shoot pellets from a slug gun at his little sister's doll in order to intimidate her. What's more? he reportedly also confessed to abusing one of his daughters from the age of four until she was 15. He continued abusing his sister even after meeting his wife, after which he would go on to sexually assault two of their six children. According to the judge, his wife was “involved in facilitating the abuse of their daughters."
“It is hard to imagine how terrifying, frightening and confused each of those little girls would have been," SA District Court Judge Joanne Tracey said during sentencing. "Your behaviour towards each child was manipulative, cruel and malevolent. On one occasion you took your sister out to the shed with her watching as you slit open a pet guinea pig, telling her that was what would happen if she told your parents."
“Years later you threatened her with emotional blackmail, telling her to write a confession for you to sign, which you then told her would mean you would go to jail and lose your wife and children," she continued. “You told [one daughter] that God had made her to be like a wife for you. Since leaving the home, she says she views her family as a cult."
“[Another daughter] described how you treated her differently to her sisters, isolating her from the rest of the family and threatening her if she spoke about your abuse of her," Tracey added. The suspect was found guilty of three counts of "indecent assault, two counts of gross indecency, inciting or procuring an act of gross indecency and unlawful sexual intercourse," per the report. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison with a minimum of 16 years.
Judge Tracey applauded his victims for overcoming “shame, embarrassment, nightmares and panic attacks” to “relive their torture” in order to bring the pedophile to justice. “Despite you, they are strong, focused and determined to leave you behind and to be better than you,” she added.
