Father Rapes 8-Year-Old Daughter
« on: October 01, 2010, 02:21:02 PM »
PEOPLE V. SEVILLA
December 8, 1999

The accused raped his 14 yr. old daughter.  He started making sexual advances when she was
6 and finally had sexual intercourse with her 8 yrs. later.   Appellant questions the credibility of
the victim's testimony since it took 8 yrs. before she complained of his acts.

HELD:
Guilty. The fact that Myra did not complain to her mother or her aunts about the sexual abuses
committed by her father against her for eight long years, is of no moment. Myra, who was of a
very   tender   age  when   the   horrible   events   in   her   life   began   to   unfold,   could   have,  in  all probability,  been confused and bewildered by her  experience  that   for  more  than half  of  her
young life, she was shocked into utter insensibility. Furthermore, a rape victim’s testimony is entitled to greater weight when she accuses a close relative of having raped her, as in the case of a daughter against her father.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
