Father jailed for more than 1,500 years for raping teenage daughter
Sentence believed to be the longest in Fresno history
As reported on October 23, 2016 in the Fresno Bee, the father in this case in Fresno, California was sentenced to 1,503 years in prison for raping his teenage daughter over a four-year period.
The 41-year-old was sentenced on Friday to the longest-known prison sentence in Fresno Superior Court history, the Fresno Bee reported. In trial, the father blamed the daughter for his actions. As is typical, the daughter was too afraid to report it when she was younger, and finally broke loose from his clutches.
