Dad was an abject coward. I hope that he can live knowing how terribly he failed his daughter that night.

I don't disagree with you but:

"...an 18-year-old woman and her 39-year-old father decided to drink beer together near a handball court..."

What father decides to drink beer with his 18 year old daughter near a handball court in January? I think there is a lot wrong with this father.

I couldn't. I've already made a commitment to my daughters, myself, and to God to do my duty to protect my children.

There's more to the story than that. Dad was so drunk that the merchants who he went to couldn't understand what he was saying. For some reason they left that part out, just saying that the man was swaying from side to side as he was asking for a phone.

The victim also offered her side of the story, saying she was scared when her father took off running, leaving the men to take turns raping her.

That’s what I was thinking. These SOBs would have had to kill me, incapacitate me, whatever; before I would allow scum to drag off any of my children.
To lose my life in defense of my loved ones would be worth it 10 times out of 10.

According to some reports he was the first to take advantage of her, and these youths joined in. It is an utterly horrible story.
