The Lucerne criminal court found a man (73) guilty of multiple sexual acts with a child, multiple sexual assaults and multiple assaults.
The man, who lives in the canton of Lucerne, had used sexualized violence once morest his daughter for several years. According to the judgment of the criminal court, the incidents took place once or twice a month in the daughter’s room. The convict had exposed his daughter and touched her on various parts of her body when she was 13 years old. When she was 14, the man began partially masturbating during the assaults. There were also interruptions between the attacks. The incidents ended when the daughter moved out at the age of 20.
Out of fear, the daughter had pretended to be asleep. The man told her “repeatedly that the sexual acts he performed on her were her secret and threatened her with negative consequences if she told anyone regarding it,” the verdict says. The daughter was frightened by the threats and kept the incidents to herself for years.
The criminal court sentenced the man to two years and five months in prison. The convict must serve one year in prison. He also has to pay his daughter compensation of 12,000 francs. He also has to pay damages and the costs of the proceedings. The verdict is not yet legally binding. Appeal has been filed.
