The man, named in German media only as Adolf B, 69 has admitted incest but insisted his daughter asked him for sex when she was 16 or 17 years old. Consequently he does not understand why she why she is accusing him of rape.
His 46 year old daughter claims her father first raped her when she was about 12, and then continued to abuse her for thirty years while they were living with the woman’s mother and siblings in Willmersbach, a village near Nuremberg. She had three children during that time, one died as an infant and another died recently.
The state prosecutor can only charge him with rapes from the last 20 years, since the statute of limitations has expired for earlier offences. Only 28 counts of incest can be lodged because its statute of limitations is five years however the number of sexual encounters is estimated at 500.
The Cork Monkey finds the defence incredible. Presumably in the man’s moral code incest is OK but rape is abhorrent and this is the way he can live with his behaviour. But lets take a trip to reality street. Whether she was seventeen or twelve, or if she asked for it or not is completely irrelevant. She was his daughter, she looked to him to protect her from such violence and he abused everything a father is. An incestuous relationship can never be consensual and children that young or vulnarable, who understand little of the world and who love their parents unconditionally need careful guidance if they make such offers. Anything else is taking advanage of thier naivete and unworthy of the love that prompted the offer.
He did take advantage and now faces up to 15 years in prison. Perhaps he will meet a large angry chap called Betty and will find himself consenting to sex at the end of a kicking. Then he will say " aaaaah now I understand"!
