SURINAME-COURT-Man Jailed For Incest

PARAMARIBO, Suriname, Oct. 20, CNS – A Judge here has sentenced a man to eight years in jail after he admitted to having sex with his child and fathering her two children.

The man told the court he had sex with his daughter, who was 13 years at the time, after he got aroused from catching her watching a porn movie.

The court heard he also fathered her two children in 2011 and 2013.

The man was arrested and prosecuted after a neighbour raised the alarm about the incest.

Before she moved to Suriname to live with her father, the girl, who remained unnamed, lived in Guyana. She told investigators that when she arrived here, her father forbid her to have social contact.

The judge scolded the man for taking advantage of his daughter and ruining her young life.
