A court in Delhi has sentenced a man for 20 years for repeatedly raping his daughter and having unnatural sex with her. Talking about the case, the court said that the survivor suffered endless torture for several years, yet she feared the society would blame her if he was sentenced.

Expressing disappointment, Additional Sessions Judge Anu Aggarwal said that the survivor, who was then 14 years old, was subjected to the most horrible crimes within her safe space by her father, on whom she had the utmost trust, reported PTI.

The court convicted the man under POCSO on May 19 for committing penetrative sextual assault as well as under the Indian Penal Code for rape, unnatural offences and criminal intimidation. The full order was made available on Wednesday.
