Dad who sexually assaulted 16-year-old daughter gets two years (Winnipeg, Canada)

Beyond disgusting. UNNAMED DAD is a repeat offender, having previously served four years in prison for sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend's 10-year-old daughter. Now he has been convicted of raping his 16-year-old daughter and choking her until she was unconscious and all he gets for a sentence is TWO YEARS TIME SERVED?

That's not even going into why this father was allowed to be alone in a hotel room with his two daughter and drinking alcohol with them. Why wasn't he banned from being around children after his first offense? Where is the mother? No word.

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

Man who sexually assaulted daughter gets two years

WINNIPEG — A Peguis First Nation man who sexually assaulted his 16-year-old daughter and choked her until she was unconscious has been sentenced to two years time served.

"It's against human nature to impose oneself on a child and even more so on your own child," said Justice Donald Bryk, who called the 45-year-old man's actions "repulsive."

The conviction comes six years after the man was sentenced to four years in prison for repeatedly sexually assaulting his then-girlfriend's 10-year-old daughter.

The Crown agreed to recommend the sentence to secure a conviction in a weak case. Court heard the now 18-year-old victim was reluctant to testify at trial and there was no medical evidence to prove she was sexually assaulted while she was unconscious.

Defence lawyer Scott Newman said the man was so drunk he had no memory of the assault.

The man was arrested Sept. 19, 2008, after his daughter ran from a hotel room and called police, said Crown attorney Shelly McFadyen. Court heard the man bought a bottle of hard liquor and a case of beer and rented a room at the Osborne Village Motor Hotel, where he and the victim and a second daughter continued drinking.

At some point in the evening, the second daughter left the hotel and the man turned his attentions to the victim, McFadyen said. The man sat next to her on a bed hugging her and trying to undo her jeans. The girl successfully rebuffed her father and went to sleep only after she thought he was sleeping, McFadyen said. She awoke to find her father naked on top of her.

The two wrestled and fell to the floor where the man grabbed his daughter by the throat and choked her until she was unconscious.

"If there wasn't sexual intercourse, I strongly suspect it wasn't for a lack of desire, rather it was a lack of ability due to the level of intoxication," Bryk said.

When the girl came to, she hid in the bathroom and then ran out of the room to the front desk where a clerk called police.

"I've had a hard time getting past this," the victim wrote in a letter submitted to court. "He was my dad and I loved him ... I lost out on a father."
