A 34 year old Ecuadorian man who raped his nine year old niece in Mazarrón, Murcia, has been sentenced to 13 years in prison by a court in Murcia.
The court heard how the child’s mother covered up the crime as the man was her partner, and how the abuse started when the child was just nine years old. The court heard that after raping the child he told her to keep quiet, as he put the bloody sheets in the washing machine. The case came to light when the child suffered more abuse and had to spend 90 days in hospital as a result.
The court released the mother without charge despite the fact that she failed to at first report the abuser who was, as well as her partner, brother to her ex husband.
