N.J. (AP) - A father who raped his teenage daughter over several years and ordered her to throw two newborns he had fathered with her down an air shaft was sentenced to 35 years in prison. The 45-year-old West New York man pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter, aggravated assault and two counts of aggravated sexual assault. The Associated Press is not identifying him to protect the identity of his daughter, the victim of a sex crime.
One of the babies survived and is in foster care. The other one died after being thrown down the shaft. "These are heinous, cruel and depraved acts committed against your own flesh and blood," said Superior Court Judge Kevin G. Callahan, who imposed the maximum sentence Wednesday. According to prosecutors, the father threatened to kill the daughter and her mother if she did not throw the babies down the shaft. The daughter admitted throwing the babies down the shaft under her father's orders.
In a statement, crafted with the help of a cellmate, the man acknowledged his "atrocious crimes." "I am totally repentant for my past actions and I do deserve to pay for this," the man wrote in the statement read in court by his attorney. But he also maintained that he did not throw the babies out the window. DNA tests showed the man fathered both children _ a girl, who died just after birth, and a boy, who survived _ with his daughter, who is now 19.
The man told a psychologist that he didn't view the teenager as his daughter, but "as a person I'm in love with," adding, "I would not have sex with her if she had not seduced me." Authorities said the man, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, did not meet the girl until after she moved to the United States in 2000 as a 13-year-old. Their sexual relationship began around that time, prosecutor Mike D'Andrea said. The daughter has pleaded guilty to reckless manslaughter and aggravated assault, and faces a maximum of seven years in prison, D'Andrea said. Her sentencing is May 10.
Her father could be deported after completing his sentence, authorities said. At the sentencing, the man's attorney said psychological reports indicated the father has extremely low intellectual aptitude. Authorities have described the daughter as borderline mentally retarded. E. Carl Broege, a public defender, described a statement she made to authorities that she was attracted to him, "and I began to provoke him until he finally gave in." Her statements about their relationship later became accusatory, Broege said.
The relationship was discovered after neighbors heard a baby crying and called police in September 2005. The officers found a newborn boy at the bottom of an air shaft in their three-story apartment building. The boy had a fractured skull but survived after landing on a pile of trash and old cigarette packages, D'Andrea said. He is now in foster care.
Further investigation turned up a mummified baby girl born in 2003, D'Andrea said. The man lived in a small apartment with his brother, wife and two adolescent children and worked as a cook at a restaurant in Hackensack. According to statements given to police, neither the brother nor the wife knew of the relationship or knew the girl had been pregnant.
No way! We are letting in only the best and brightest who will insure the future of the United States.
Ah, the ole islamic argument. This egghead should've gotten life in front of a firing squad.
“A father who raped his teenage daughter over several years and ordered her to throw two newborns he had fathered with her down an air shaft”
Dear Lord! He should fry! This level of perversion makes me ill.
Third world sexuality.
But he loves Amerika..
What is amazing is the statement that “he COULD BE deported after completing his sentence.” There is proof positive of a major defect with our immigration policies. The SOB should be declared persona non grata 35 years from now and kicked out of the country PDQ.
Had enough yet?
Does anyone at AP know how to write? He’s not a West New York man - he may have been living there but he is a man from El Salvador living in New York.
But ... but ... maybe that’s how they do it in his culture. Who are we to judge? How can we say our way is better?? / rolling eyes
John McCain would let this guy stay in America
Just when I think human depravity could no longer shock me, I’m proven wrong.
*PING*
Why the hell is 35 years the maximum?
We should let him live with John McCain.
How much does illegal immigration cost the USA?
SIX BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR (suprisingly reported on NBC Evening News on
this Sunday).
If even sometimes agree with the old maxim of “you can’t place a price
on a human life”...
then the cost of illegal immigration is INCALCULABLE.
(and unforgiveable as these “crimaliens” should be in the USA
in the first place)
Just read through this keyword thread if you don’t believe it.

We also must make sure that a lineage such as this endures by insuring that none of these precious offspring get aborted.
My apologies:
That SIX BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR was the amount that illegal immigrants
cost US Hospitals and Medical Centers.
Just the tip of the iceberg in regards to what Illegal Immigrants
really cost the USA.
thanks, I never knew that keyword existed.
Not sure if I can stand pinging this out...
Another crime is not executing this subhuman.
