Austrian Man Kept Two Mentally Disabled Daughters as Sex Slaves for 41 Years

In a story almost too horrific to believe, an Austrian man has been accused of holding his two mentally disabled daughters captive and using them as sex slaves for over four entire decades.
The alleged victims, now 53 and 45 years old, were reportedly locked in a small kitchen with only a wooden bench to serve as a bed and were repeatedly beaten and sexually assaulted over the course of 41 years. The two women lived under threat of death until the time of their escape, which occurred after the eldest daughter pushed the 85-year-old man to the ground during his last attempted rape.
While the escape is believed to have transpired weeks ago, the women did not divulge the details or their plight until recently.
The Telegraph reports:
The sisters are both now in care and are said to be “severely psychologically traumatised” by their ordeal.
“Their accusations are believable,” police commander Martin Pumberger, investigating the case, told state broadcaster ORF. “They are relieved that they are now able to talk about their decades-long martyrdom,” he said.
Neither the father nor his alleged victims have been named by police.
Alois Lissl, a senior state police official, said the man is suspected of assault, torture or neglect of defenceless individuals, threat to life or physical condition, rape and other sex crimes. He denies all charges.
Sadly, authorities did not remand the women’s father to custody as he was not perceived as a flight risk. He is now reportedly living in a home for the elderly.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 6:27amFolks, please read the article before commenting. This picture is NOT of the man suspected of these heinous crimes. Also, there are several on here who are talking about the “sicko’s” in Austria and the Nazis, blah, blah, blah. This country currently has a HELL of a lot more sickos than any other nation on earth (starting with our leftist government). And if I never hear the word Nazi again or see them played as the evil people in movies, it will be too soon. Give it a rest already. Besides, I’m German and it offends me :)

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 6:43amThey didn’t say Germans. Everyone knows (or I assume they do) that not all Germans were Nazi’s. I think, sadly, Nazi is used way to much to describe a mentality, instead of a political afiliation. I have German heritage, so I understand you’re being insulted. I see what happened in Germany in the 30′s happening in America now, and I think many fear that. They say they don’t understand how good people stood by and let it happen, well folks take a look at American. Lots of good people are in denial.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 6:48amOr he could have kidnapped them off the street and they aren’t even his daughters. It said he had a history of preying on the disabled (possibly). As the mother of a mentally disabled son, I find this absolutely horrible. My son was mentally and physically abused in grade school by teachers because he couldn’t tell on them. And this was in Missouri. There are sickos everywhere.

Posted on August 25, 2011 at 10:06pmThis sounds like the same thing that happened just a few years ago in the same area. What is in the water in that part of the world that men and keeping their daughters as sex slaves. The earlier story included grand kids being born to his daughter or daughters. They even look alike…..wonder if they are related?

Thank you for the link to the Wikipedia article. I did not know what everyone was writing about. I was not familiar with the Fritzi case. I must be honest. I was not able to read the entire article. I could only read up to the part where it explained how Mr. Fritzi enlarged the basement prison after the birth of the fourth child.
Report Post »The father was too diabolical for me. And, despite how the beginning of the article justifies the mother ignorance, I still could not except that she did not see or sense the truth. She is a fine example of what the Bible refers to as an ostrich mother. The Fritzi case and this case are both too horrific for me. Both men got to live long lives enabling them to commit their crimes for decades. These are examples of justice being served way too late for the victims. Just way too late!!!
