Coimbatore: A 50-year-old man was on Monday sentenced to life imprisonment for sexually abusing his teenaged daughter and impregnating her twice.
Delivering the judgement Mahila Court Judge M P Subramanian also awarded seven years rigorous imprisonment to Palanisamy, an autorickshaw driver, for threatening the girl of dire consequences if she told anyone. However, the sentences would go concurrently, the judge said.
The prosecution stated that the 17-year old girl was sexually abused by her father since 2007.
The man used to abuse the girl when her mother, working in a private factory, used to be on night shift. He had threatened the girl that he would kill her if she informed her mother.
Unable to put up with the abuse, the girl lodged a complaint with the police in 2009 in which she said she had undergone an abortion once and a six-month old foetus was removed surgically.
The Judge held Palanisamy guilty of the charges of rape and holding out murder threat. The man, however, pleaded not guilty.
