Man was sentenced to 1,503 years in prison for raping his teenage daughter over a four-year period.
The
41-year-old, who is unnamed because it could identify his daughter, was
sentenced Friday to the longest-known prison sentence in the world history
Judge
Edward Sarkisian Jr, who announced the punishment, told the man he is a
'serious danger to society' and noted that he had never shown remorse
and has blamed his daughter for his predicament.
The
man's daughter was first sexually abused by a family friend but instead
of protecting her, he turned her into 'a piece of property,' prosecutor
Nicole Galstan said.
The
victim was raped two to three times a week from May 2009 to May 2013,
when the girl got the courage to leave him... victime Now 23 said 'When
my father abused me, I was young. I had no power, no voice. I was
defenseless,'. She also told
the judge that her father never has shown remorse for her pain and
suffering.
The
man turned down two plea deals. Before his preliminary hearing, if he
had admitted his guilt, prosecutors would have recommended 13 years in
prison. He rejected the offer. Then
before his trial, he was offered 22 years in prison if he admitted his
guilt. He declined that offer, saying he should be released from jail
for the time he already had served, Sarkisian said before announcing the
sentence.
'He ruined her teenage years and made her feel like it was her fault,' Galstan said in arguing for the maximum sentence.
