8.5 Years for Raping Quadriplegic Daughter: Spanish Court's Verdict

Spanish Court Sentences 89-Year-Old Man to 8.5 Years for Raping Quadriplegic Daughter A court in Spain has sentenced an 89-year-old man to eight and a half years in prison for repeatedly raping his quadriplegic daughter over a five-year period. The man, whose identity has not been released to protect the victim, confessed to the crimes, leading to a slightly reduced sentence from the initial 10 years requested by the prosecution. In addition to prison time, he has been ordered to pay €35,000 in compensation to his daughter. Furthermore, a court order prevents him from contacting his daughter in any way for the next 15 years. "This is a horrific case that highlights the vulnerability of people with disabilities," stated a spokesperson for a women's rights organization in Spain. The victim now lives in a specialized care facility, and is receiving appropriate care and support. While the length of the prison sentence may be debated, the court's decision sends a strong message that such crimes will not be tolerated.
