Incestuous sex (haad-naataako karani) is one of the major crimes in Nepal, and so if this man slept with his daughter, then it is a very sick story. 18 or not. All I am asking is if there is a definitive proof of this. The more heinous a crime a man is convicted of, the more concrete a proof is require to do so.

Regarding rape: I am surprised that there are some rapes that seemed to have occured after she was 18. I wonder why she didn't report them as soon as it happened? To say that repeated rape couldnot be the last straw but a break up with the boyfriend was doesn't sound cogent to me.

Allysma, you also give me an impression that you are not sure how much time he is being asked to serve. I am surprised that the jurors didn't know the consequence of their action (decision). Bigger question is: would you think 160 years in prison (a mean between floated numbers, 70 and 250) is fair for this guy? Given Madoff, who ruined so many hospitals/retirees and destroyed a system, was given 150. What is exactly the goal of a jail system? To reform a man so that he won't be a threat to the society when he comes back or let him rot there forever so that he never comes back? Are jurors setting precedence or do they have precedence for such crime and punishment?
