Man Abuses His Own Daughter - Live!!
Saturday, December 22, 2007 at 1:47AM
A Canadian man who sexually abused his 4-year-old daughter live on the Internet so another man could watch was sentenced Thursday to four years in prison. The father, whose name was not released to protect the identity of his daughter, was arrested in October 2006, just hours after he used a Webcam to expose his daughter to another man — who was actually an undercover police officer — during a chat room conversation.
Paul Krawczyk, the undercover detective who watched the live Internet assault, said the sentence was too lenient.
In a victim impact statement read in court Wednesday by the prosecutor, the man's wife called him a "cruel person" and said she would rather have learned her husband was dead than discover the truth about his "despicable" behavior."
In order to evoke sympathy for the father, his defense lawyer Bob Upsdell told court Wednesday his client has been physically assaulted twice while behind bars, and has lost 130 pounds since his arrest. The father will not spend much time in jail either. The four-year sentence handed down Thursday takes into account time already served, which means the man will serve another 20 months and will then be on probation for three years.
In sentencing him, Justice John McGarry called it a "gross case; a sickening case of breach of trust."
This man - who completely destroyed any chance of his daughter leading a normal life by brutally raping both her body and her mind, who live on the Internet, recorded this heinous act for the viewing pleasure of another person, who by his very actions violated all that it means to be a father and a human being - will spend only 20 months in prison!!
Paul Krawczyk, the undercover detective who watched the live Internet assault, said the sentence was too lenient.
"It's just four years. The child has to deal with this for the rest of her life, and not just the child, the mother of the child, the family members of the child," he told The Associated Press. Nobody ever thinks of the children in this."
"The mom said it perfectly yesterday. She said it would be easier if the father was dead. Nobody ever thinks of the children in this," Krawczyk said.

"Words cannot describe what is found in those pictures. They are of a three- and four-year-old girl being used by her father for his own sexual gratification," McGarry said.
It really makes one stop and think.......Is this the best the justice system can do?
