Italian police said yesterday they have arrested a man for sequestering his daughter and forcing her to have sex with him for 25 years. The man in the northern city of Turin also incited his 40-year-old son, who was also arrested, to have sex with his own daughters, who range in age from six to 20.
The father, a 63-year-old junk vendor, allegedly raped his daughter, now 34, regularly since she was nine years old, La Repubblica newspaper reported, citing investigators.

The Italian press likened the case to Austrian Josef Fritzl, who was sentenced to life last week for enslaving and raping his daughter for 24 years.
The Italian woman, given the pseudonym of Laura in the Italian press, was not allowed to leave home without her father and spent her days locked in a dark room, police said.
She stopped going to school at age 13.
The son was encouraged to imitate the father. He is accused of raping and mistreating his four daughters, now aged six, eight, 12 and 20, and forcing them to watch the sex sessions.
The investigation began last October, when Laura lodged a complaint against her brother, accusing him of sequestering and raping her for two weeks after she fled to his home following an argument with their father. The five victims are under psychological care.
