Dad gets 3 years for infecting daughter in sex assault
CBC News

A Toronto man was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison for sexually assaulting his young daughter and giving her a sexually transmitted disease.

The man, 47, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, gave his daughter, 5, gonorrhea.

The incident occurred in July 2001. The man, a former labourer, was charged in 2002 and in October 2006 he was convicted of sexual assault causing bodily harm and sexual interference.

Ontario Superior Court Justice Bonnie Croll told a Toronto courtroom that the girl may suffer from infertility later in life because of the disease.

If untreated, gonorrhea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, which in turn can damage the fallopian tubes.

Tests in 2002 showed that the girl had developed the same strain of gonorrhea as her father.

1. Disgusting fuckwad.

2. Sadly, I've heard worse. nt

3. One of the ways a relative gets caught

molesting a child is because the child gets an STD. Yes it is sick but unfortunately not unusual. Ten years is not enough.

5. Looks like he only got 3.

And he's also HIV positive.

I'll never wrap my head around that.

10. I will never understand judges and sentences

no matter how hard some try to explain it to me. I can only hope every second of the rest of his life is extremely painful and agonizing. The eternity thing I will leave to others but if there is one may if be more painful and agonizing.

7. That's horrible beyond words.

:cry: :puke: :grr: That poor child...IMO, the dad ought to get a hell of a lot more than just 3 years. :grr:

8. I don't think he will survive prison, actually

Where did he get the gonorrhea? He got three years for molesting his own five year old daughter? So incredibly sick and so common.

9. That sentence is waaaaaaaaaay too lenient. Well, any time he has left to breathe is, IMO.
