: Breaking Legal NewsPhilippine dad convicted of rape gets 14,400 years
By (Breaking Legal News)
A Philippine court has sentenced a father to 14,400 years in prison after he was convicted of the near-daily rape of his teenage daughter over the course of a year.
A trial court originally condemned the man, a motorcycle taxi driver, to die in March 2006 after he was convicted of 360 counts of rape allegedly carried out during the year his wife worked in Hong Kong.
The Philippines repealed the death penalty in June 2006 and the Court of Appeals in Manila affirmed the conviction on Sept. 8 but lowered the sentence to 40 years' imprisonment ? the maximum now allowed by law ? for each count of rape, according to a copy of the decision obtained Friday.
