A 51-year-old father was tried over allegations that he repeatedly assaulted, threatened and humiliated his 17-year-old daughter. The prosecution sought a one-year prison sentence, describing the alleged conduct as systematic and saying he had forced her on occasions. The girl said in a victim statement that the abuse had harmed her in ways that were not outwardly visible. A single report said the father had installed a camera in her room and that she sometimes hid in a cupboard for privacy.
