A father raped his daughters for years and beat his wife so severely she suffered fractures: court delivers verdict
Two daughters and a wife became victims of years of abuse
In Odesa, a 54-year-old man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for systematically sexually abusing his wife and two biological daughters. The court established around 30 instances of criminal activity, including rape, beatings, death threats, and pressuring the victims to change their testimony. This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General on November 11, 2026.
According to the prosecution, the man began raping his older daughter in June 2015, when she was 17 years old. In total, he raped her at least 17 times. He raped his younger daughter, who was 13 years old at the time, three times between 2019 and 2021.
He also raped his wife at least five times, regularly threatened her, and used physical force. During one attack, the man threw the woman against a bedside table. As a result, she suffered broken ribs and moderate bodily injuries. The family lived in fear for a long time because of death threats. Even after his arrest, the man continued to pressure the victims: he called his wife from the detention center, threatened her, demanded that she withdraw her testimony, and tried to persuade her to get their daughters to change their statements in his favor.
Although the defendant denied his guilt, prosecutors proved it through the victims’ testimony, expert examination results, and other evidence. The court found the man guilty of rape, sexual violence, inflicting moderate bodily injuries, making death threats, and obstructing victims and witnesses from giving testimony. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
