Story here. Excerpt:

'BUENOS AIRES – A 42-year-old man spent 20 months in a maximum security prison accused of raping his daughter, but the girl repented and confessed that she lied when she accused him, the press said on Friday.

The prosecutor withdrew the charges and the court released the defendant, after his daughter, now 19, repeated that she had lied, something that she had already said during the initial investigation, but her statement was not admitted because of the possibility that she had been pressured by the family.

Defense attorney Claudia Mirele said in a statement published in the Buenos Aires daily Clarin that the girl lied as a reprisal against her father for being “too strait-laced.”'

If I were a betting man, I would put my money on this type of brutality by young girls against their parents happening far more often then we hear about.

This girl should occupy her father's cell for the full term of the sentence he received, though no father I know would ever ask that be done to his child even if she did it to him.

Poor man, he most likely was raped and beaten because his daughter was out of control and did not want to listen to reason. He probably warned her that her behavior could result in her facing the sorts of things he endured in prison. But, she dished out the punishments to him
