Jordanian jailed for sexual abuse of daughter | |
2008-11-21 | |
A Jordanian was sentenced on Wednesday to 13 years in prison with hard labor for sexually assaulting his 20-year-old daughter more than 200 times since she was 11, a judicial official said.
Rape of a female under 15 is punishable by death in Jordan. "The girl lost her virginity when she was over 15 years old after her father raped her," another judicial source said. A 40-year-old man was sentenced to death this month for raping a 14-year-old girl nine times in January. Israa Tawalbeh, Jordan's first female coroner told AFP that between 1,300 and 1,400 cases of sexual assault against children are reported in the kingdom every year. | |
