An 18 year old Sheboygan, WI woman raped by her father received justice Thursday after her 39 year old father was convicted of incest for sexually assaulting her while she slept. The father, who is being held on $10,000 bond pending sentencing, faces 7 1/2 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The 18-year-old daughter told police that she woke up to find her father — whom she recently met for the first time — sexually assaulting her. She began crying and told him to get off, which he eventually did.
Another family member heard the daughter crying and saw the act from a distance. The incident occurred at a home on the city's south side.
The father, who came to visit his daughter after arranging a visit through her mother, later admitted to police he had sex with her and initiated the act while she was asleep.
Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe DeCecco approved the plea deal where felony incest charges were plead guilty to in exchange for dropping 3rd degree sexual assault charges. Incest, according to DeCecco, are normally more serious than sexual assault charges because the victims are usually minors. The sexual assault charge is less serious than the incest charges in this case because the victim is 18. Wisconsin law prohibits marriage between relatives closer than 2nd cousins, and makes sex with such relatives a felony.
