About Fritzl case in brief
The Fritzl case emerged in 2008, when a woman named Elisabeth Fritzl told police that she had been held captive for 24 years by her father, Josef Fritzl. Fritzl had assaulted, sexually abused, and raped her numerous times during her imprisonment inside a concealed area in the basement of the family home. The abuse by Fritzl resulted in the birth of seven children: three of them remained in captivity with their mother, one had died just days after birth at the hands of Fritzl who disposed of his body in an incinerator, and the other three were reported as foundlings. On 19 April 2008, Fritzl agreed to seek medical attention after the first time in 24 years in which he forced his daughter out of the chamber and saw the outside world for the first time in her life. He admitted that he repeatedly raped her and that he had most likely joined a religious cult. He was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 25 years and a maximum term of life with a maximum of 30 years. He is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence and a 30-year sentence with amax sentence of 25-years and a max sentence of 30-years. He has never been convicted of any crime other than the rape of his daughter and the sexual abuse of his other children. The case is currently being investigated by the Austrian Federal Prosecutor’s Office and the Austrian National Court of Human Rights and Human Rights of the Family. The trial is expected to last until at least the end of the year, when Fritzl will be sentenced to 15 years in prison and a 15-year minimum sentence for the sexual assault of his four other daughters and one of his three sons.
He will be eligible for parole in 2023. The prosecution is seeking a sentence of 15 years and 10 years. The sentence will be suspended for life and a minimum of 10 years if the sentence is commuted to 10 years by a judge or a judge of the highest degree of leniency. The sentencing is scheduled to take place on April 19, 2013. The jury will decide on a verdict of guilty or not guilty; the trial will be held on April 20, 2013, in Vienna, Austria. The verdict will be decided on whether or not to convict Fritzl of any charges relating to the abuse of the seven children that he held captive in the cellar of his family home in Amstetten, Austria, between 1977 and 1984. The family received regular visits from social workers, who saw and heard nothing to arouse their suspicions. The captives had a television, radio, and video cassette player. Food could be stored in a refrigerator and cooked or heated on hot plates. At times Fritzl shut off their lights or refused to deliver food for days at a time to punish them. He told them that he would receive an electric shock and die if they meddled with the cellar door. According to Fritzl’s sister Christine, he did not allow his wife to bring him coffee for the night and did not allowed him to bring coffee to the house for 12 years.
