Six-year prison sentence for dad who fathered 12-year-old daughter's children (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada)

This UNNAMED DAD gets 7 whole f****** years in prison for raping his 12-year-old daughter over two years and impregnating her twice. It is unbelievable that after she was hospitalized in labor the first time that authorities didn't remove her from her father's "care." Her lack of "cooperation" is really irrelevant here--she's a child! Of course she was intimidated into covering up what happened. That's what sexual abusers always do. This is just a way for the authorities to excuse their inaction.

Notice that we're told that once reason justice was delayed for seven years is that the "father's family" also refused to cooperate and that they hid Daddy from the police for "lengthy periods of time."

But notice an interesting thing here. There is no specific mention of a mother in this picture at all. Was there one? I'm seriously wondering about that. It is no secret that the sexual abuse of children is more likely to take place in a home where a mother or other adult female is not present.

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

Prison for man who fathered daughter's childrenBy Heather Polischuk, Leader-Post April 27, 2011

In August 2004, a 12-year-old girl came into the Regina General Hospital in advanced labour, giving birth to a son the following day.

Hospital staff became suspicious both because of the girl's young age and because she didn't provide the name of the father.

Rumours began swirling that the father of the baby was also, in fact, the girl's father, and so began a police investigation that resulted finally on Tuesday in a six-year sentence for the father on a charge of sexual assault.

The 45-year-old man - who can't be named to prevent identifying the victim, his biological daughter - entered the guilty plea Tuesday at Regina Provincial Court in relation to assaults on the girl that eventually resulted in the birth of that child and a second just over a year later. After hearing submissions, Judge Dennis Fenwick - referring to the offences as "reprehensible" - agreed to impose the six-year term as jointly proposed by Crown and defence lawyers. The six years are over and above the approximate 10 1 months the ?2 45-year-old has already spent on remand, and also take into account a guilty plea for failing to appear in court - meaning the actual total sentence is closer to seven years.

While the girl was reluctant to tell police the truth about what had happened, Crown prosecutor Chris White said she eventually admitted her father had given her alcohol and then had sex with her, resulting in the two pregnancies. The assaults occurred between Nov. 1, 2003, and Dec. 31, 2005, both within Regina and in other locations in the province.

White said the matter took such a long time to come to a conclusion because of lack of co-operation from the girl, her father and her father's family - some of whom helped hide him from police for lengthy periods of time.

After the first birth, the girl initially told police the father was a boy who was a sometimes boyfriend. When DNA later disproved that, she said it was another boy, all the while denying that her father was also the father of her child.

When the father was spoken to by police, he also denied the allegations, refusing to provide a DNA sample or to sit for a polygraph test. He initially also denied even being father to the girl.

With nothing but speculation to go on, no charges were laid.

Police interviewed the girl again in October of 2005, at which time she finally broke down and admitted the truth - that her father and she had had sex and the pregnancy had resulted.

By that time, the girl was already pregnant again, with her second child by her father. At age 14, in December of 2005, she gave birth to a second son.

The girl provided police with DNA samples from herself and from her sons. In the spring of 2006, a warrant was executed allowing police to finally take a DNA sample from the father. In the fall, the tests came back, revealing he was the biological father of the girl and both of her sons.

The matter remained before the court for some time, and in August 2009 the man failed to appear in court. He remained on the lam for about a year, taking shelter at or near homes of family members.

After a lengthy and intensive search, police finally located and arrested the man at a brother's residence.

Defence lawyer Don Findlay said relatives of the man told him the 45year-old has lived a tragic life. He experienced abuse, including sexual abuse, as a child himself. Throughout the years, he has personally witnessed the accidental death of his three-year-old son, the attempted suicide of his mother and her eventual death in a car crash, and the suicide of his nephew.

He's expressed a desire to commit suicide himself and has sought refuge in alcohol, court heard.

"He has not dealt with his history with any form of counselling," Findlay said, adding that his client doesn't view any of that as an excuse and that he "very much regrets" what happened with his daughter.

While the man has endured personal tragedy, White pointed out the problems the girl faces aren't anywhere near over either. He said she will, no doubt, have to one day explain to her sons "why they have the same dad." Court heard the first son was placed with an aunt; it wasn't clear what happened with the other baby.

"The effect of his criminal conduct will continue," Fenwick agreed.

In addition to the prison term, the man will be placed on the sex offender registry for 20 years, must provide a DNA sample for the national databank and is subject to a 10-year firearms prohibition.
