The evil father who locked up his daughter in a cellar for 24 years and fathered her seven children was pictured on a 'boys holiday' to Thailand in the 1990s, it has been revealed.
Josep Friztl is believed to have stockpiled food in the dungeon where Elisabeth and her three children were being held.
The four were expected to survive alone for up to two weeks until Fritzl returned. Snaps of the electrical engineer enjoying himself were made public for the first time today.
They come as it was revealed that Fritzl has told police he acted alone.
He has told detectives he was not helped to keep his Elisabeth and their children hidden in his cramped basement.
But police are not yet convinced he is telling the truth and are investigating how he could have bought food and clothes for them without anyone suspecting.
The 73-year-old pensioner, who has now been confirmed as the father of all Elisabeth's children, was today remanded in custody for two weeks.

That is just Eurospeak for no bail until the arraignment.

Pinging you before any of the usual suspects show up to say this was okay.

Who are the usual suspects that would say THIS was “OK”?

GUILTY! GUILTY! AAAAAH!
This is just...I can’t believe this entire story. I’m having real trouble buying that this freak’s wife didn’t know SOMETHING about what was going on. How could there be up to four people living in their basement for almost a quarter of a century, and she didn’t know about it? Maybe she didn’t, but I just can’t understand how, if that’s true.

One of the articles linked in another thread points out that the freak and his wife took in boarders - who also noticed nothing. Lot of oblivious people out there, apparently. But, to be truthful, I can’t say I know all that goes on in my neighbor’s homes.

The retired electrician faces charges of incest, abduction and imprisonment and could serve 15 years in jail if convicted.They have got to be joking! He imprisons his daughter for 24 YEARS and rapes her MANY times, and the MAXIMUM sentence he can get is 15 years?

Not to discredit what you are saying, but at 73 years old, a 15 year sentence is likely a LIFE SENTENCE, for him.

Who are the usual suspects that would say THIS was “OK”?One of the favorite fLDS apologists' "lines" is that nobody's been "convicted" yet. Has anybody seen an fLDS defender spouting that same line in this or similar threads? No?

This stuff is just gross. But this part of the article got me:
The retired electrician faces charges of incest, abduction and imprisonment and could serve 15 years in jail if convicted. 15 years???? He should at LEAST get a year for each year they were locked up by him!

You’re right, but it’s the principal of the thing in this case. Of course, I think he should get at least a year, per person locked up.

Exactly what I was thinking, our FLDS/LDS defenders coming to the rescue of this poor misunderstood soul...

I think the line is usually that nobody’s been “charged,” not “convicted.”

Honest to goodness, when I read the headline, I thought it this was a thread about the FLDS fathers and their “Lost Boys” that have been abandoned by their families.

It is easy to get confused when we have multiple perversion going on with in the same time span...
