By The Copenhagen Post The Danish People's Party believes a man convicted of sexually abusing his daughters should be castrated A 47 year-old man who for nine years rented out his daughter to other men for sex should be castrated, according to a leading member of one of parliament's largest parties. The man, sentenced Tuesday to 10 years in prison by a court the southern Jutland town of Tønder, admitted that he subjected his two daughters to various forms of sexual abuse for nearly a decade. Representatives from the Danish People's party, however, believed the punishment was insufficient. 'One can't imagine anything worse that what this father was involved in,' Peter Skaarup, the party's vice-president, told MetroXpress newspaper. 'He and other paedophiles ought to be sentenced and medicinally castratated.' The man sexually abused both his daughters and rented out the oldest as a sex slave for nine years, starting when she was two. Fourteen others involved in the girls' abuse were also sentenced in the case, including the mother, a schizophrenic who will receive mandatory treatment. Skaarup said castration helps children by protecting them from future abuses and also helps the paedophiles themselves. 'We know that many sex offenders are repeat offenders, and I don't see castration as punishment but as a way to help these people get rid of their desire to be with children,' Skaarup said. Skaarup's suggestion was supported by a study undertaken at Herstedvester prison, which indicated that reducing a paedophile's sexual drive is an effective means of preventing abuse. But it is doubtful the proposal will result in any action being taken, as forced procedural treatment cannot legally be used on those who are judged sane. Anne Baastrup, Socialist People's Party MP, said castration is not likely to be an effective solution anyway. 'Medicinal castration can be quickly undone if the person is released from prison and buys an antidote. The solution lies in changing what's inside their heads.' The father had pleaded guilty to 19 charges in all and must pay restitution of DKK 250,000 to his daughters. Link: http://www.jp.dk/english_news/artikel:aid=4257718/
I can't believe he only got 10 years for 9 years worth of abuse of his own children and forced prostitution. 10 friggin years for 9 years worth of traumatic damage to 2 children, the eldest starting from the age of 2 with the abuse. 10 YEARS!? I hope that is typo and it's meant to be 10yrs per count. Or hell 10 years, per every year of abuse he subjegated them too. Not just....10 years in prison for all of it.
The restitution of DKK 250,000 isnt even enough to buy that poor child a new future, she's going to be a disturbed being for the rest of her life. I lived roughly 20 miles from there, and if I got the chance I'd castrate and kill him personally in the middle of Copenhagen square with a rusty butter knife.
You read it right. 10 years total. Hence the rusty butter knife job I'm contemplating. By the way, I'm not the only one here who wants to do that. 85% of the Danish population said they would hurt this guy in some form or the other.
As Nexxo said, castration doesn't work, and even if you kill them, others will take their place. Sounds to me like election year politics. This way they can look like the're "tough on crime" without doing anything that might tend to piss people off. Nothing to see here, please move on.
He shouldnt be medicinally castrated, he should be frickin mutilated downstairs. Forcefully removed with pliers and then burnt closed with a blow torch. And he then deserves to be raped by 10 times total number of men he sold his children out to (and then some) by rancid 70 year olds. hmph. Pay per View event!
I understand your outrage, but think about it: you want to punish sexual abuse by sexual abuse? And I wonder what type of people will Pay to View... The monster is dead. Long live the monster...
He should be dealt with in the same manner as you deal with any wounded or sick animal that are found to be beyond saving and repair…
If he cant control himself, castrating him doesn't bother me. Lately I'm really beginning to wonder if the judicial system has enough deterrent to prevent crime. I mean become a sex offender and you get a free room and 3x meals a day for a while, I know some people are probbably thinking "whats the downside?" Castration would be quite a deterrent, possibly an over deterrent. . . Whats do you think Nexxo? Do we need more deterrent? Granted, the need for more deterrent is based on my assumption that crime is increasing. L J
It's also based on the assumption that deterrence is possible, which history indicates is a fallacy. Time and again, studies have shown that the only factor that directly predicts overall crime rate is the number of young males in the population. Put another way, crime is a given, and yes crime is increasing, but only because the poipulation is increasing. As for the concept of deterrence, it only works if a potential criminal 1. logically considers the situation, and 2 believes they will be caught. in most cases one or both of these considerations is absent and so deterrence as a concept is doomed to failure. Crime happens, anyone who tells you that they can reduce or stop it is a fool or a liar.
Mutilation or execution hardly effects the rate of crime. I'd say most crime of this nature is a spur of the moment thing. No-one really plans a rape.
Well, at least in American prisons, child abusers don't have a fun time. A lot of their fellow inmates will be concerned fathers and won't think twice about showing this fellow how much they disapprove of his behavior. He'll get his due I'm sure.
You sound like you know how rapists think which is a bit worrying tbh... :/ I really can't think of a punishment to fit this crime.
