The son was allegedly encouraged to imitate his father, who reportedly kept his daughter captive in a dark room for 25 years and sexually abused her at their Turin home. The first victim, given the pseudonym Laura, is now 34 and is having psychological treatment, according to reports in Italy. Laura alerted the police, whose investigations have suggested the 63-year-old man's son also raped his own four daughters. Laura's abuse is believed to have started when she was nine years old. Prosecutors said she was locked up in a room without electricity, forced to leave school at the age of 13 and never allowed to leave the house without her father's supervision. The case apparently came to light after Laura accused her brother of rape. She had reportedly fled her father's house and sought refuge in her brother's house, only to be allegedly locked up and raped by her brother for two weeks. Laura also accused her brother of raping his own four young daughters.
