Father accused of sexually abusing 3-year-old daughter twice says he mistook the child for his 185-pound wife
26-year-old Henry Vincent Bennett was convicted by the jury after less than 30 minutes of deliberation and now faces a 80 to 270-year sentence
A jury in West Virginia took less than 30 minutes to convict a man of incest with his three-year-old daughter after he took the stand and seemingly repeated a previous confession he had made to the police where he claimed he had only done so because he mistook the child for his 24-year-old, 185-pound wife.
According to the Daily Mail, 26-year-old Henry Vincent Bennett was convicted of two counts of first-degree sexual assault, two counts of sexual abuse, and two counts of incest after it was uncovered that he had sexually abused his three-year-old daughter on two separate occasions.
