I raped my daughter because I could not afford a prostitute – Father tells court
One Oliver Garside has been sentenced to 8 years in prison for raping his daughter because he could not afford a prostitute.
According to reports, the 68-year-old man of Sunderland, England, raped his daughter Sylvia Prescott, when she was 15 years old. Prescott, who is now married with three boys, said she did not go to the police while her grandmother was alive because she was scared that the details of the case would upset her. However, when her grandmother died, Sylvia decided it was time to stand up to her abusive father.
Prescott, 47, said that a weight has been lifted off her shoulder and wished she had gone to report the case to the police earlier.
“Prosecutors were able to build a strong case against my father and he pleaded guilty to abuse, meaning that I did not have to go through the trauma of a trial,” Prescott said.
During sentencing, the judge reprimanded the father for the excuse he gave as to why he
sexually abused his daughter.
Prescott admitted that she felt sick when she heard her father’s defense.
He claimed that he raped her because he could not afford a prostitute.
“What kind of defense is that?” She asked.
“I finally feel free to live my life without him hovering over me and I should have done it sooner,” she said.
She said she decided to come out with her story to give other victims the strength to go after their abusers.

My husband and I have been married for about 7 yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he did a spell for me. Three days later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity . If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you. This is his E-mail: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com .
