French Court Sentences Father to 20 Years for Repeatedly Assaulting and Exploiting Teenage Daughter

The 38-year-old man was convicted of sexual violence and trafficking his daughter to others, with another accomplice sentenced to 16 years.

A French court sentenced a 38-year-old father to 20 years in prison for repeatedly assaulting his teenage daughter and facilitating her abuse by other men.
The abuse began when the victim was 13, with the father exerting complete control over her and presenting them online as a couple to arrange encounters with older men.
The father directed, participated in, and filmed the assaults, often blindfolding the victim during these acts.
A second man, identified through explicit photos and videos, received a 16-year sentence and claimed he was misled into believing the situation involved consenting adults.
The victim, now 18, ended the abuse by escaping at age 15 and attended the trial, which highlighted the father's manipulation and domination over her.
