SC affirms life term on father who raped his two daughters

Defining the News

The Supreme Court has sustained the conviction and imposition of life imprisonment, without eligibility for parole, and P300,000 damages in each of the three qualified statutory rape cases against a father who sexually abused his two minor daughters in 2015.

He also claimed that his children should have shouted or sought help from her other siblings who were sleeping in the same room, and in the case of the 14-year-old daughter who was raped twice, she should have avoided to be alone with him in their house. The father argues that the older victim should have been wary of being alone with him considering her testimony that the rape on March 13, 2015 was the second incident.
