Father from Arad accused of rape of his own daughter over several years
A 51-year-old man from Arad County has been sent to trial after, according to News.ro, repeatedly sexually assaulting his daughter over several years, beginning when she was 9-10 years old. The victim is currently 13 years old. The defendant's wife, who knew of the abuse, left the country leaving the girl in her father's care and has also been sent to trial.
Prosecutors from the Office of the Prosecutor attached to Chișineu-Criș District Court have ordered the man, investigated under preventive arrest, to be sent to trial for the crimes of rape of a minor in continuous form, ill-treatment of a minor, non-compliance with the regime for weapons and ammunition, and use of a firearm without right in continuous form.
Detailed accusations in the bill of indictment
According to a press statement sent Wednesday by prosecutors, the defendant "in the period of 2022-2023 and until 20.07.2026, while at his home located in a locality in Arad County, maintained multiple normal sexual relations and oral sexual acts, through psychological coercion (...) with his daughter, the injured minor K.K.I., currently 13 years old, who was in his care, protection and education."
Prosecutors argue that the acts committed seriously endangered the minor's physical, intellectual and moral development and caused her "anxiety and depressive symptomatology."
Alongside the sexual crimes, the man is also accused of unlawfully possessing a non-lethal weapon at his home — brand NARCONIA, model 32, calibre 4.5 mm, without serial number, subject to authorisation — together with corresponding ammunition, and of firing it twice.
Mother sent to trial for complicity
The defendant's wife was investigated under judicial supervision and sent to trial for complicity in rape of a minor in continuous form and complicity in ill-treatment of a minor.
According to the same statement from prosecutors, the woman "knew that her husband maintained sexual relations with their minor daughter, a fact known both as a result of directly observing an episode of a sexual nature and as a result of the minor's accounts." Nevertheless, she returned the girl to her father's care, and later, after the minor told her again of the abuse, left the country, "continuing to leave her in his care despite knowing the risk of the acts continuing and having the possibility of taking measures to protect the child."
The case is to be tried by Chișineu-Criș District Court.
