Mendoza , Argentina: Father accused of repeatedly raping his daughter since childhood in case that echoes that of Austrian monster Fritzl.

A Josef Fritzl-style father had five children with the daughter he kept captive in his home since childhood, Argentine police have said.

The 53-year-old is accused of repeatedly raping the woman, now 31, and threatening their children, aged two to 13, to silence them.

He was arrested when the husband of another daughter contacted police.

Manuel Ontiveros, from the Mendoza police sex crime unit, said: “The complainant stated the girl had no boyfriend and it was the father who had abused her and got her pregnant.

"The man sometimes passed his daughter off as his wife, when he was asked by neighbours or people outside of the family.”

But the man had previously escaped jail after he was arrested for abusing one of his other daughters, who then left home.
A police source revealed: “But as it was not rape, they gave him a suspended sentence and he was not jailed.”

Police are also investigating whether the girl’s mother, who left the family home six years ago, was complicit in her former husband’s sex abuse.

The Austrian monster Fritzl had seven children with the daughter he kept locked in a basement for 24 years.
