Brest France courthouse where father faced incest and rape charges in shocking child abuse case

A shocking incest case unfolds in France, where a father is accused of drugging and raping his daughter, fathering three children.

A shocking case has erupted in Brest, France, that has left the community reeling and drawn grim comparisons to one of Europe's most notorious criminals.

Authorities have charged a 58-year-old man with a series of horrific crimes against his own 33-year-old daughter. Prosecutors allege he created a nightmare for her, using anti-psychotic drugs to subdue her and committing repeated rape. This abuse, they say, resulted in the birth of three children.

The disturbing truth began to unravel from an unimaginable source. The man’s 11-year-old son reportedly made comments that exposed the dark, incestuous reality within the family home. The boy told investigators he too was forced into sexual acts with his mother.

"The report described an incestuous atmosphere, violence and deviance within the family," stated the Brest public prosecutor's office, capturing the horror in stark terms.

The three children, the 11-year-old boy and his 8-year-old twin sisters have now been rescued from that environment. Child protection services have placed them into foster care.

The father currently sits in pre-trial detention. He faces severe charges, including aggravated incestuous rape and rape by administration of a substance. 

In a heartbreaking twist, the daughter, who is also the mother of the children, is seen as a primary victim yet is not entirely free from scrutiny. She has been taken into custody on charges of habitual violence and corruption of a minor.

For many, the case echoes the crimes of Austrian monster Josef Fritzl, who imprisoned his daughter for 24 years. 

This Brest scandal serves as a chilling reminder that such profound evil can still emerge from the shadows, devastating lives and shocking the conscience of the world.
