The sentence was in accordance with the requisitions.

A father who lives in Corny, in Moselle, was sentenced to eight years in prison for rapes committed on one of his daughters, reports

Le Républicain Lorrain.

 He was tried before the Metz criminal court on Tuesday.

The man, who was freed after ten months in pre-trial detention, has always contested the charges.

He was separated from his children and his partner in 2013, when she complained of violence.

The eldest of the siblings had nevertheless gone to live with him, before reporting sexual assaults that had occurred between September 2015 and December 2016.
