Two popular pastimes for an unnamed man from Edmonton in Canada who was this week classified as a “dangerous offender” and can be detained indefinitely to prevent a repeat offence.
But the ruling came at least 20 years too late for his victims. Back in 1988 the man, who must remain unnamed to protect the identities of his victims, was tried and convicted for sexually assaulting seven young children including his own daughter, a nephew and two nieces. He received two years in prison and on release returned to his family home with the daughter he had been convicted of molesting. The young girl, still only eight years old, was then raped almost every night by her father for the following 14 years.
The girl had to suffer at the hands of her father all that time, the child’s mother turned a blind eye and even when neighbours reported their suspicions authorities failed to act.
On top of sexually assaulting the girl on a regular basis, the father also beat his daughter and her two younger sisters and often starved the siblings. When not taking his sexual frustrations out on his eldest daughter, the unnamed pervert would abuse the family pets beating the children’s dogs and horse and also having sexual intercourse with the animals often in broad daylight.
When neighbours reported the man to child protection services for being a previously convicted child molester who was now blatantly having sex with animals in his back garden, the authorities simply passed the reports on to Animal Cruelty agencies. Just why they didn’t think a man with his history having sex with dogs was a threat to the children is unclear.
On occasion the man would force his daughter to watch him perform sex acts on the animals and force her to participate.
The abuse continued until the daughter was able to escape the family home aged 21, and after managing to rescue her two younger sisters she raised the alarm and the man was arrested. This time the deviant received an eleven and a half year prison sentence for incest, compelling bestiality, bestiality and invitation to sexual touching. The classification as “dangerous offender” however means the man may spend the rest of his life behind bars.
