Man Sentenced To 14,400 Years For Raping Daughter

A man in the Philippines has been sentenced to over 14,400 years in prison after being convicted of raping his teenage daughter.

According to the Huffington Post, the victim states that her father, a motorcycle taxi worker, forced her to have intercourse with him almost every day, except when she had her period or on holidays, when he would make her perform oral sex.

The original trial court initially sentenced the man to death by execution in 2006, but the decision was over turned.

According the appellate court records, the Court of Appeals in Manila affirmed the conviction on Sept. 8 but lowered the sentence to 40 years' imprisonment – the maximum now allowed by law – for each count of rape, resulting in a total of 14,400 years.

The victim, who was just 13-years old at the time, told the court that her ordeal began in January 2001, when her mother left for work in Hong Kong as a domestic helper and left her three children with their father in Los Banos, a township just south of Manila.

The ordeal only ended after she and her siblings spent a vacation with their mother's relatives. Reluctant to return to her father at the end of the vacation, she broke down and told her family about the abuse. Her mother returned home from Hong Kong and helped her file the case.

The appeals court affirmed the lower court's dismissal of the defense's contention that the man's wife made up the allegations to get custody of the children and marry a foreigner.
