A MAN IN MALAGA who was helped to locate his daughter by a Spanish television programme has been sentenced to seven years in prison for sexually abusing her.
The man, identified as Francisco, contacted the Diario de Patricia television programme in 2003, after not having seen his daughter for 38 years.
As a result of his appearance on the show, his daughter, Antonia, contacted her father and they began to speak by telephone and visit each other.
But problems began in 2004 when Antonia travelled to Malaga to spend a few days at her father’s home. According to her testimony, on the day of his birthday her father attempted to kiss her on the mouth and said that when they returned home that night she would “have to prove to him whether she liked men or women”. Later that night, Francisco climbed into his daughter’s bed and sexually abused her.
In the sentence, the court stated that Francisco’s claims that his daughter invented the story as revenge for abandoning her as child was “not credible” and drew attention to the fact that events in Antonia’s life had left her psychologically unprepared to react against her father’s abuse.
