A father has been
arrested and charged with defiling his own young daughter, who told police that
he would demand sexual favours in exchange for outings with friends and participation
in school activities.
Handcuffs-300x241The 46-year-old Utah resident, whose name
is being withheld to protect the identity of the alleged victim, was taken into
custody last week and charged Wednesday with nine counts of rape and a single
count of sodomy on a child.
According to the accuser, who is now 16 years old, the abuse
first started when she was only 9 years old.
Over the past seven years, the teen told police that her
father, who also has two other children, defiled her over 50 times.
The alleged victim explained that as she got older, her
father would have sex with her more frequently. Most recently, the teen said
that they would have encounters three to four times a week.
The horrific allegations came out when the 16-year-old told
a friend at a church camp about the sexual abuse, asking her to keep it a
secret.
The friend, however, shared the information with her
parents, who then relayed it to their church bishop. The cleric, in turn,
reported the allegations to officials at the Division of Child and Family
Services, who notified police on June 19.
During her interview with investigators, the unnamed teen
said that whenever she wanted something or wanted to go out, she would have to
‘pay’ her father with sexual acts.
According to a police report, earlier this month, the
46-year-old man forced his daughter to have intercourse with him four times in
exchange for allowing her out-of-town best friend to visit.
When the friend left, the father told his daughter ‘that it
was time to pay up,’ the report stated.
The paper reported that after talking to police officers
about the alleged abuse committed by her father, the 16-year-old made an
emotional plea no to arrest him, saying that it would ‘tear her family apart’
and hurt her siblings.
