Oliver Garside has been
sentenced to 8 years in
prison for defiling his
daughter because he could
not afford a prostitute.
According to reports, the 68-
year-old man of Sunderland,
England, defiled his
daughter, Sylvia Prescott,
when she was 15 years old.
Prescott, who is now
married with three boys,
said she did not go to the
police while her grandmother
was alive because she was
scared that the details of the
case would upset her.
However, when her
grandmother died, Sylvia
decided it was time to stand
up to her abusive father.
Prescott, 47, said that a
weight has been lifted off
her shoulder and wished she
had gone to report the case
to the police earlier.
“Prosecutors were able to
build a strong case against
my father and he pleaded
guilty to abuse, meaning
that I did not have to go
through the trauma of a
trial,” Prescott said.
During sentencing, the judge
reprimanded the father for
the excuse he gave as to
why he sexually abused his
daughter.
Prescott admitted that she
felt sick when she heard her
father’s defense.
He claimed that he rap ed
her because he could not
afford a prostitute.
“What kind of defense is
that?” She asked.
“I finally feel free to live my
life without him hovering
over me and I should have
done it sooner,” she said.
She said she decided to
come out with her story to
give other victims the
strength to go after their
abusers.
