A 53-year-old Argentine man has been arrested by the police for allegedly fathering five children with his own daughter who he captive inside their Mendoza home since childhood.
The unnamed man who is a blacksmith is being accused of repeatedly raping his daughter who is now 31-year-old and also threatening his entire family including their children, aged two to 13, to silence them.
He was arrested and taken into custody after the husband of another one of his older daughters contacted police.
He told the police that the victim had no boyfriend and it was her father who had sexually abused her and impregnated her.
According to Manuel Ontiveros, from the Mendoza police sex crime unit, "the man sometimes passed his daughter off as his wife, when he was asked by neighbours or people outside of the family."
A police source added that the man had been arrested previously for abusing one of his other daughters, who left home after the incident. But he was not jailed, he was rather given a suspended sentence as it was not rape.
Authorities are now investigating whether the girl's mother, who left the family home six years ago, was complicit in her former husband's sexual abuse on the daughter.
Local media say the case resembles that of Australian monster, Fritzl who had seven children with the daughter he kept locked in a basement for 24 years.
