A man from Cahul will spend the next 16 years in jail for raping multiple times his daughter. For three months, the suspect raped and physically assaulted his, at the time, 16-year-old daughter.

He forbade her from attending school and speak with her mother, who was working abroad. The victim retold her teachers all that happened, who were the ones to call the police.

Now, the teenager is 17-year-old and in the custody of her mother. The man will serve his time in a maximum security prison. The sentence can be appealed.
