Stepfather sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually abusing his 11-year-old stepdaughter 130 times

SOL12 September 2026 at 11:35

A stepfather was sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually abusing his stepdaughter over an extended period. The victim was an 11-year-old girl and the abuse occurred approximately 130 times.

The court imposed the 10-year prison sentence on the defendant, who was the child's stepfather. The high number of times the abuse was practiced indicates that it was a prolonged and repeated situation.

Since the defendant was a foreign national, the court also decided to order his expulsion from the country after serving the prison sentence. This complementary measure to the conviction aims to ensure that the convicted person leaves the national territory.

The case highlights the gravity of child sexual abuse crimes, particularly when committed by people who hold a relationship of trust and proximity with the victim, as is the case with a stepfather.

Why this matters

This case directly affects the local community of Bragança, where the trial took place, and serves as an alert for vigilance against child sexual abuse in the family context. The conviction and subsequent expulsion of the foreign defendant sends a message about the serious legal consequences for crimes of this nature in Portugal.

Rare snake surprises breeders by having two heads capable of controlling the body equally

A two-headed ball python was born at a breeding facility in Eugene, Oregon (USA), and surprised breeders by demonstrating that both brains can equally control the shared body — something rare, since in most cases of dicephaly one head tends to be dominant. Both heads can drink water, flick their tongues, and react to touch independently, with the body responding to each one. The breeder Justin Stewart, 36 years old, told Creatorzine that he doesn't know if the heads are aware of each other, but stated: "They don't seem to mind it."
