The Austrian father, who arrested and raped his daughter, is now complaining about a bad press.
A widespread German newspaper recently gave him the possibility to try to explain or even apologize his behaviour.
Of course, this was also noticed elsewhere:

What do you think about this kind of journalism? Do you think, this means giving a stage to a criminal?

Father hides his daughter for 24 years

This week, a nearly incredible crime was discovered in Austria. A man has hidden his daughter in the cellar of his house for 24 years, abusing her regularly and even fathering some children by incest. Neither the neighbourhood nor his own wife want to have noticed anything of what was going on in the rooms downstairs:

Can you imagine that such a thing could happen next-door to you?
