Father Rapes 10-Year-Old Daughter For 5 Years, Says 'He Was Missing His Wife'

A man in South Africa has been arrested for marring his daughter and raping her after his wife’s death.

The man’s activities became public after his son called police when he learned that his 55-year-old father was raping his sister.

According to the boy, the unidentified mas has been having sex with his daughter since their mother died 5 years ago. His sister was only 10 years when the raped started.

Narrating the incident to the police, he said: “My father had been talking about how he needed someone to replace my mom. He kept saying that my sister and I reminded him of our mother. He said that she would be perfect for her replacement. We did not understand what he meant by this.”

Five years later, he learned that his father always takes his sister into his room and had sex with her as if she was his wife.

The girl also summed up courage and told a pastor that she was being sexually abused by her father. 

She was taken to a doctor, who confirmed that she had been raped.

The father was arrested and his trial for rape and incest has begun at the Protea Glen Magistrates Court.
