London:
An annoyed father allegedly forced his teenage daughter into putting on an armour and fighting with him in a medieval-style sword-duel until she collapsed from sheer exhaustion, the Daily Mail reported.
The father found out that the girl had gone to a party on Saturday without his permission and ended up at a police station where he later picked her up, police said.
Fremon Seay, 38, of Yelm, Washington in the US, allegedly sat on top of the 16-year-old and whipped her after he took her home from a police station. He then gave her Renaissance-style body armour, a shield and a sword, and fought her for two hours until she could not stand anymore, the police revealed.
He allegedly told another one of his children to bring him willow switches before beating her on the bottom and legs, reported Seattle Weekly.
Seay then allegedly told his daughter to put on her armour and they fought in the yard between 2 am and 4 am Sunday. He beat his daughter with a wooden broadsword.
The girl was allegedly then forced to strip down to her underwear when back inside and she had to watch a televised sermon from a preacher.
Detectives received a 911 call from the girl's friend, whom she had contacted with a text message in a desperate attempt to get help.
Seay is charged with second-degree assault and has been arraigned. His wife was arrested and charged with being an accessory to a crime.
