An Egyptian worker assaulted his 15-year-old daughter in the eastern province of Sharkia, the Egyptian newspaper Al-Shorouk reported.

The newspaper added that the District Court in the province of Sharkia issued a decision to imprison the defendant for 15 days pending investigations, accusing him of sexual abuse of his teenage daughter inside his home in the Department of Hehia police station.

The Eastern Security Directorate had received a notification that a victim had received a report accusing her father of sexually assaulting her by repeatedly attempting to touch sensitive places in her body.

The victim said in the investigation that her father tried to harass her a lot, especially during his absence of consciousness, as he is addicted to drinking alcohol, adding that she had reported to her father after breaking the promise with them to stop such acts.
