Earlier on we told you about the hideous rape of an 11-year-old girl. Well the following story of another sex crime is even more disturbing. In the Supreme Court this morning, a 39-year-old pleaded guilty to incest with his 16-year-old daughter.

The teenager who is now 18 – is the mother of two children, the second one for her father. It first happened in April of 2005 in a small village in Northern Belize and a number of times after that. The girl told the court that her father threatened to cripple her mother if she told anyone. She eventually had to tell her mother when she became pregnant. The child was given up for adoption.

Sentencing for the father is set for next Monday, February 25.
