Father Who Held Sex-Slave Daughter: "Don't Call Me a Monster!"

If we had no idea who these two were then we might think to ourselves, look at this lovely couple celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2006, perhaps someone's parents or grandparents, they seem so happy. We wouldn't know that the man in the photo was a bonafide monster.

Even Monsters Have Feelings

More photos and details have emerged in the story of the Austrian man who kept his daughter captive as a sex-slave in a secret cellar prison for 24 years, bearing the man seven children while 73-yr-old Josef Fritzl wants everyone to know that he is "no monster".

Fritzl made a statement today via his attorney and stated that if it weren't for him the 19-yr-old Kerstin "wouldn't be alive" and he "made sure she gets to a hospital".

Kerstin remains in an induced coma since being admitted to the hospital April 19, her critical illness a catalyst for the release of her mother and two brothers who shared the dingy cellar prison beneath the Fritzl family home.

There's no word yet as to what caused Kerstin's illness when Josef allowed her mother Elisabeth to carry her daughter upstairs. Elisabeth was then put back into the cellar prison while Josef purportedly took the girl to the hospital.

Fritzl said that he could have "killed them all" and "nothing would have come out of that". He also claimed that "No one would have ever known about it".

Man Who Kept Daughter Sex Slave for 24 Yrs: Daughter Helped to Build Prison

More details have emerged in the horrific story of the Austrian man who kept his daughter locked up as a sex-slave for 24 yrs, how she unwittingly helped her father to build the prison of horror that her father sentenced her to. It's also been revealed that some of the children she bore her father were forced to watch him rape her "numerous" times.

The story of Josef Fritzl and his daughter Elisabeth has confounded people across the globe. How Josef Fritzl was able to construct a prison beneath his home, how "no one", not even Fritzl's wife nor numerous tenants who rented flats in their building suspected something was amiss.

Fritzl's plans to change the cellar were approved by the city of Amstetten in 1978. According to the authorities Elisabeth, then a young teenage girl, helped her father build the secret prison she would spend 24 years and bear seven children that were her father's.

Fritzl received a government grant to build the block of secret rooms, a grant that was supposed to be used to build nuclear fallout shelters. The rooms were approved by a visual inspection the year before Elisabeth, at age 19, was drugged, handcuffed, then locked inside the cellar-prison by her father.

Josef Fritzl: Father Who Kept Daughter Captive Built "Dungeon" With Government Grant

Government Grant Paid for Secret Dungeon

New details have emerged in the case of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian father who held his daughter captive as a sex-slave for 24 years in a secret basement prison and fathered all seven of her children. How Fritzl was able to get a government grant for thousands of pounds to finance his diabolical dungeon and how his daughter and three of her children locked in a secret room in the cellar failed to raise anyone's suspicions.

It's been reported that authorities are looking into whether Fritzl, the father of Elisabeth, the daughter he held captive, plus six other children with his wife, Rosemarie, was convicted of raping a woman back in the late sixties and served time in prison. So far the authorities haven't disavowed the information but haven't said it's true.

Another detail that has emerged is that the Fritzl family home also served as an apartment house to 8 other tenant flats. One former tenant whose flat was directly above the basement and the secret prison, a 42-year-old petrol pump attendant, said that he was "shocked" when he opened a paper and read the news of Elisabeth and her seven children, how he realized "all this awful stuff had been happening in the same house where I used to live".

The former tenant went on to state that Friztl banned his tenants from going into the basement or the back garden. Alfred Dubanovsky said that he rented the flat directly above the basement for 12 years, that he had moved out last year. He also said that Josef warned the tenants that the basement was guarded by a "sophisticated electronic alarm" and that anyone caught down there would have their lease terminated immediately.

Dubanovsky said that from his window he could look out to the back garden and that he saw Josef use a wheelbarrow to bring food to the cellar... and only at night. Another strange tidbit from Dubanovsky, a grown son of Josef and Rosemarie lived at home but was only allowed to go out one night a week.

Man Who Held Daughter Captive 24 Yrs in Basement: Prior Sex Assault Alleged

Allegations of a past sexual assault conviction and a stint in jail are the latest details to emerge in the case of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian father who held his daughter captive in the basement for the past 24 years, fathering seven children.

The Times Online is reporting that Fritzl may have been convicted of sexual assault and arson in the 1960's and had spent time in prison. Austrian authorities said they were aware of the allegations of Fritzl's past and were attempting to track them down.

Appearances Are Deceiving

The town of Amstetten is in shock, two years ago they had feted Josef and his wife Rosemarie's fiftieth wedding anniversary. But those who are older have memories of a different Josef, of warning their children to stay away from the man because of rumors he had spent time in prison for raping a woman.

The woman at the center of the story, Josef's daughter Elisabeth, claims her father drugged, then locked her into a makeshift prison hidden in the basement behind a secret door back in 194 when she was just 19. She also claims he repeatedly beat her and raped her. She subsequently delivered seven children, one of whom who died shortly after its birth. Josef allegedly threw the baby boy's body in a furnace.

Josef, a retired electrical engineer, had the Amstetten town authorities inspect the basement/dungeon a year before he locked his 19-yr-old daughter up in 1984. The plans for the basement expansion were approved by the town in 1978, five years later local inspectors gave final approval after they inspected the premises. Some are now questioning as to why the inspectors were not prescient enough to envision the renovated basement would be used as a dungeon for the next 24 years by Josef to repeatedly rape and beat his daughter and raise three of their seven children.

Josef acted as midwife and delivered all seven of the babies born to Elisabeth. The last child, Felix, is now five. The oldest, Kersten, is 19 and lies in an induced coma at a local hospital. Doctors have been unable to diagnosis what has caused Kirsten to be critically ill and on dialysis.

Man Locks Daughter in Dungeon for 24 Years

This real life story is creepy, kind of like an episode of the X-Files without the blood and gore but creepy nonetheless.

A man in Austria was caught by the police and charged with locking his daughter in a dungeon underneath the house for 24 years. Yet this was just the tip of a horrific iceberg, as it was revealed that the woman was repeatedly raped by her father producing seven children.

The man, Josef, whose last name has not been revealed, was arrested by Austrian authorities in the town of Amstetten. He is charged with luring his daughter into a windowless basement or dungeon he had constructed underneath his home when she was 18. Elizabeth last saw daylight and freedom in 1984.

According to the Guardian, Josef's wife and Elisabeth's mother was unaware that their daughter was imprisoned down in the basement for 24 years. Apparently he had constructed a secret room of which the entrance was also hidden behind a secret door and accessible by code which allegedly only Josef knew. Josef had Elisabeth write a letter when she disappeared at 18, telling her family that she wished to be left alone, that they "should not search for her".

Elizabeth's Children

Elizabeth had seven children by her father. Incredibly three of the children were allowed to live upstairs after they were purportedly "left" at the home with accompanying paperwork stating that Elisabeth was the mother. Her father and mother raised them as foster or adopted children.
