In order to prove “it was better with men”, a father sexually assaulted his lesbian daughter has been sentence to be jail for 21 years.
He responded with “unrestrained” rage and attack her after she confessed to him that she was struggling with her uniqueness.
In order to protect the victim’s identity, Warwick Crown Court did not name the 54-year-old as from the past 20 years the two other of his daughters have suffered exploitation from him.
Judge Lockhart said ““As a 16-year-old girl she realised she was gay and struggling with her identity as many people do at that age, she decided to tell you,”
“You reacted by showing real and uncontrolled anger, and you decided to rape her to show her why it would be better to have sex with men than women. Her evidence made harrowing listening.”
The victim had to go though “degradation and humiliation” for the crime that took place. “
The offence demonstrated your hostility towards her as a lesbian,” the judge added.
Three charges of rape, one charge of indecency with a child during the 1980s and 1990s and nine charges of indecent assault was found guilty for him.
