A MAN has been accused of fathering three children with his own daughter, in a horrific case dubbed the “French Josef Fritzl”.
In the sickening case, the 58-year-old French man also allegedly forced his 11-year-old son to have sex with his own mother.
The father admitted he had been “in a relationship” for several years with his 33-year-old daughter, as reported by Ouest-France.
He allegedly used anti-psychotic medication to drug his daughter and rape her – forcing her to bear his three children.
Comments from an 11-year-old child implicated the incestuous nature of his parent’s relationship, which sparked the investigation by the public prosecutor of Brest.
“The report described an incestuous atmosphere, violence and deviance within the family” who lived in Brest, the prosecutor added.
It is understood the 11-year-old boy has two younger siblings – 8-year-old twin sisters.
They were taken into the care of Child Protective Services and placed in foster care.
Upon uncovering the shocking truth, the father was charged with aggravated incestuous rape, rape with administration of a substance to the victim without her knowledge and corruption of a minor.
He was placed in pre-trial detention.
The man’s daughter and the mother of the three children was described as a victim herself by prosecutors, but was also taken into custody.
She has been charged with habitual violence against a minor under 15 and corruption of a minor under 15, though she has not been placed under arrest.
The case has eerie similarities to the awful case of cellar rape monster Josef Fritzl.
Fritzl, 89, was jailed in 2009 for keeping the children, born after he raped daughter Elisabeth, in an underground lair.
The Austrian began molesting his daughter Elisabeth when she was 11before imprisoning her in a filthy cellar in Amstetten near Vienna in 1984.
Three of the children he fathered lived with his daughter in windowless, soundproofed rooms behind a reinforced concrete door, three were raised upstairs in the house, and one died shortly after birth.
Fritzl is said to have burned the tragic baby’s body in an incinerator and scattered the ashes in the garden.
His crimes came to light in 2008 when the eldest of the children, Kerstin, became seriously ill and had to be taken to hospital.
