A Polish man was sentenced to 10 years for holding his daughter captive for six years, raping her repeatedly and fathering her two sons.
The trial has been held out of the eyes of the Polish media in order to protect the victim, who is now 23, and the other family members. Cameras and reporters were allowed into the court to hear part of the verdict. Kryzsztof Bartoszuk admitted having sex with his daughter but insisted it was consensual.
Bartoszuk's trial began last March after the conclusion of the Austrian trial of Josef Fritzl, who was found guilty to imprisoning his daughter for 24 years and fathering her children.
