Man arrested for sexually abusing his daughter for a decade in Oaxaca; had been on the run for 3 years

A man in Oaxaca was arrested for allegedly sexually abusing his daughter over a ten-year period, having evaded law enforcement for three years.

Authorities in Oaxaca have apprehended F.C.F., a man accused of sexually abusing his daughter for a decade, which began when she was only five years old. The crimes took place in their home in the municipality of San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec, where the daughter endured repeated assaults until she turned 16. It wasn't until a family member reported the abuse that law enforcement intervened, as the daughter had previously been too afraid to speak out against her father due to threats.

The investigation revealed disturbing details about the father's manipulation, as he reportedly told his daughter that his actions were a form of revenge against her mother, whom he accused of infidelity. This psychological abuse compounded the victim's fear and silence, allowing the abuse to continue unchecked for years. Following the report, officials acted swiftly, issuing an arrest warrant, which culminated in his capture after he had fled from his home to avoid facing justice.

This case highlights not only the tragic circumstances faced by the victim but also raises broader issues regarding child protection laws and the legal system's ability to handle such sensitive cases effectively. The long-term psychological impact on the survivor and the legal repercussions for the abuser will be significant, drawing attention to the need for more robust support systems for victims of sexual abuse in Mexico.
