Man fathered 11 children with daughter

A Colombian man has appeared in court accused of raping his daughter over many years and fathering several children with her.

Arcebio Alvarez, dubbed the "monster of Mariquita" by the local media, allegedly abused his daughter, now in her 30s, since she was nine years old.

The case has shocked Colombia, and the 59-year-old needed police and army protection for his court appearance.

Mr Alvarez denies incest and rape, saying his daughter was adopted.

"We agreed to have a romantic relationship because we really loved each other. But she was not my own child," he told the court in the central Tolima province.

What a sick story. I hope they put him in jail for life. What he did was horribly wrong and he should be punished for it.

In my opinion any man who would sleep with a child needs he parts cut off and fed to him. OR DEATH that would work too. Someone needs to cull these perverted jerks from the herd
