Man Sentenced for Years of Abuse in Argentina

A 50-year-old man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for having raped his five daughters. The subject was accused in the Courts of Río Tercero for a series of events that took place between 2017 and 2023 in Villa del Dique, according to the judicial investigation's ruling. It was revealed that the individual had a past with a similar crime, as he had previously received a sentence of 15 years and 10 months in prison for aggravated sexual abuse in a plea bargain where he was found guilty.

The mother of four of the girls was also convicted in this case. She was held responsible for qualified minor injuries and sentenced to one year of suspended prison. According to local sources, the attacks occurred when the girls were between 4 and 16 years old. In December 2023, one of the victims reported the abuse to a neighbor, who accompanied her to the police station where she recounted what happened. Shortly afterward, the abuser was arrested.

The prosecutor of Río Tercero, Paula Bruera, led the investigation and discovered that the aggressor already had a history of sexual offenses against a minor in the year 2000. Despite this, he quickly regained his freedom. Justice has finally acted in this case of domestic violence, with harsh sentences for the guilty and an important step toward the protection of the victims.
