A man was sentenced to 12 years in prison for sexually abusing the daughter of a couple of friends. The abuser admitted to having a "crush" on the victim during the trial.
The abuser took advantage of the closeness he had with the teenager. He maintained a friendship with the girl's parents, which facilitated access to the victim.
The girl even spent nights at the man's house, which created opportunities for the abuses. The closeness and trust established with the family were fundamental for the crime to occur repeatedly.
The conviction was the result of a trial in which the defendant acknowledged the facts. The 12-year sentence reflects the gravity of the crimes committed against the teenager.
