A man has been given a 1,503-year prison sentence for repeatedly raping his teenage daughter over a four year period.

 

Rene Lopez, 41, was sentenced to the longest-known prison sentence in Fresno Superior Court history, according to the Fresno Bee.

 

A jury in September found Lopez guilty of 186 felony counts of sexual assault, including dozens of counts of rape of a minor.

Prosecutors say Lopez’s daughter was first sexually abused by a family friend but that instead of protecting her, Lopez tued her into ‘a piece of property.’

 

They say the victim was raped two to three times a week from May 2009 to May 2013, when the girl got the courage to leave him.

 

In announcing the punishment, Judge Edward Sarkisian Jr. told Lopez he is a ‘serious danger to society’ and noted that Lopez had never shown remorse and has blamed his daughter for his predicament.
