Father who had daughter marry her rapist jailed
ST. ANTHONY, Idaho — An Idaho man will spend about four months in jail for taking his pregnant 14-year-old daughter to Missouri and having her marry a 24-year-old family friend who had raped her.
The father pleaded guilty to injury to a child last week, and a judge put him behind bars for 120 days and ordered three years of supervised probation, the Idaho State Journal reported.
The girl’s father said he believed that a man should marry a girl he gets pregnant. Missouri law allows 14-year-olds to marry with parental permission in some circumstances.
