Man convicted of sexually assaulting daughter for close to a decade
A man who argued in an Ontario court that he was simply being a “touchy feely” father when he regularly pinned his daughter under him — face down — and ground his genitals on her over roughly a decade has been convicted of sexual assault.
Court documents show the man, whose name cannot be released in order to protect the identity of his daughter, was arrested in 2014 after the then-teenage girl told a teacher she was being sexually abused.
During trial, the young woman, who is now 18 years old, told the court the incidents began when she was six and usually took place every few weeks while her mother and siblings were away.
She testified both she and her father were fully clothed when it happened, and that she would squirm and tell him to get off her.
