A man in Cyprus has been found guilty of sexually abusing his partner's 9-year-old daughter. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
The Permanent Criminal Court of Paphos, in a process of closed doors, imposed joint prison sentences of up to 11 years on a man who was found guilty of charges of child sexual abuse and domestic violence, with the victim being the minor daughter of his partner.
More specifically, as broadcast by KYPE, according to an announcement by the Criminal Court, the minor was about 9 years old during the period of committing the crimes between 2017 and May 2019.
As mentioned, during the imposition of the sentence, the need for deterrence was emphasized due to the escalation of the phenomenon of sexual abuse of minors, whose abuse involves the deconstruction of sacred minority in early years, with the abuse affecting all aspects of their lives.
