Incest teen kept in cellar wants to see ocean, Miley Cyrus

Posted June 11th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.cnn.com

OK, she said “pop concert”, not “Miley Cyrus”, but you have to admit that would be a much better story.

The 19-year-old woman whose hospitalization exposed a shocking Austrian incest case is recovering well, and wants to see the ocean and a pop concert, her doctors and a family lawyer said Wednesday.

She and other children who were held captive for years are also slowly adapting to modern life, they said.

Kerstin Fritzl, who doctors placed in an artificial coma after she was admitted to a hospital in April for multiple organ failure, is now well enough to speak, stand and walk with assistance, her doctors said.

Doctors said “little novelties” such as seeing a cloud go by are now big events for the former captives.

Austria girl kept in dungeon awakes from coma

Posted June 10th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.cnn.com

Kerstin Fritzl, the 19-year-old that was the pinnacle for the revelation that Josef Fritzl had kept his daughter in children from incest in a cellar for 24 years, has woken up from the artificial coma doctors had placed her in. Prosecutors are hoping she can now testify and further help their case.

Kerstin, along with six other children, was born from Josef Fritzl’s incestuous relationship with his daughter Elisabeth, now 43, who he raped repeatedly during the 24 years she spent imprisoned beneath his home.

Police say Fritzl, 73, has confessed to holding his Elisabeth captive, and fathering seven children — six of whom survived.

Kerstin was admitted to hospital in Amstetten, west of Vienna, in an unconscious state after Elisabeth persuaded Fritzl she needed medical attention. Suspicious medics alerted police who opened an investigation.

Detectives began investigating the case after hospital officials started inquiring about the girl’s family history.

Buenos Aires man sentenced for keeping daughter as sex slave

Posted May 22nd, 2008 by minortopics | via www.foxnews.com

What the hell is going on in Argentina? A man in Buenos Aires has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for keeping his daughter as a sex slave.

[Eleuterio] Soria’s trial revealed that he began abusing his daughter in 1992, when she was 12 years old. The following year she became pregnant by her father, prompting her mother to leave their home in La Matanza, a working-class Buenos Aires district. The family’s five other siblings eventually left as well.

The daughter, whose name was not released, had a second child by her father in 1997. Unlike Fritzl, Soria used psychological domination rather than physical restraints to keep her in the house. She did flee on various occasions, but would return home after he threatened their two children — often at gunpoint.

She finally escaped for good in 2003 and denounced her father to authorities. Argentine psychologists weren’t surprised that it took her more than a decade to tell authorities.

Of course the media is quick to bring up the similarities to Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man who kept is daughter trapped in a cellar for 24 years.

Children kept in dungeon speak “animal language”

Posted April 30th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.telegraph.co.uk

The story of the Austria man who kept his daughter and her children locked in a cellar for 24 years just got stranger and more depressing.

Stefan Fritzl, 18, and his brother Felix, five, learned to talk by watching a television in the dungeon where they were held with their mother Elisabeth Fritzl, 42. But their form of communciation is only partly intelligible to Austrian police officers.

Police chief Leopold Etz, 50, who has met the two boys, said: “It is only half true that they can speak. They communicate with noises that are a mixture of growling and cooing.

Daughter kept in cellar for 24 years

Posted April 27th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.telegraph.co.uk

An Austrian woman, now 42, was found in an Austrian cellar where she had been locked up and raped over the course of 24 years. The woman was the daughter of her abuser. Seven children were fathered as a result, although other pregnancies or babies may not have survived.

This is not the first time an Austrain female was found hostage in Austria. Last year Natascha Kampusch was found after being held in a bunker for 8 years, and snatched by a pedophile. Vienna has long been a safe haven for many pedophile rings. Recent busts have exposed these rings and cracked down on this phenomenon.

Police in Austria have freed a woman who was allegedly locked in an underground dungeon and abused by her father for 24 years.

The woman, named as Elisabeth Fritzl, 42, is believed to have been sexually abused and beaten by her father, 73, since 1984, as he kept her hostage in a cellar beneath his house in a village near the town of Amstetten in Lower Austria.

Police suspect that the man - who has not been named for legal reasons - fathered his daughter’s four children, the oldest of whom is 19.

Australian man has baby with daughter

Posted April 7th, 2008 by minortopics | via afp.google.com

“She’s my sister AND my daughter!” Ew, the creepy factor has been dialed up to 11 on this story. An Australia man is in a consensual incestuous relationship with his own daughter, who has given birth to the man’s baby. The couple is now on a media blitz trying to get people to accept their illicit love affair. Uh, yeah, ain’t going to happen.

Jenny Deaves was 31 when she was reunited with her father John Deaves, who separated from her mother three decades before. Shortly afterwards, she had considered embarking on a sexual relationship with him, she told the Nine Network.

Jenny Deaves said not long after meeting her father, she began to see him as a man first and a father second.

“I was looking at him, sort of going, oh, he’s not too bad,” she said.

“Like you might look at a man across the bar at a nightclub.”

John Deaves, who is 61, said he knew it was illegal to have sex with his child but emotions soon overcame him.

“Emotions take over, as people no doubt realise, there are times during your life where emotions do rule the heart, it rules the head,” he said.

“I knew it was illegal, of course I knew it was illegal but you know, so what.”
