Man Who Confessed To Raping 13-Year-Old Girl Claims Her Father Arranged And Participated In His Daughter's Sexual Assault
The father also gave the man liquid Viagra before the rape.
Daily Mail Though an Australian man confessed to raping a 13-year-old girl, he's still fighting the charges because he alleges he believed she was 17.
According to police, 45-year-old Alfred John Impicciatore met the girl's father online in March of 2015. The girl's father, who isn't being identified to protect the girl's identity, responded to Impicciatore's ad on a classifieds website that said he was "looking for girls," and was "talking about sex and all that sort of stuff."
Impicciatore denied seeing the man's online advertisement for father-daughter fantasies.
"He was talking about his kind of quirky," Impicciatore said in an interview with detectives. "Fetishes?" the detective asked. "I guess so," Impicciatore responded. "He implied lots of things."
In Impicciatore's two-hour interview, which was played during his trial Tuesday, he said the father gave him liquid Viagra before they both blindfolded and sexually abused the girl. Impicciatore sexually penetrated her four times on his first visit to their house. He claimed the girl's dad was "overzealous" and "it was just weird" watching him rape his daughter.
He said he believed she was 17.
"When I spoke to him on Kik he was talking about sex and stuff. He said she [his daughter] was 17 to me, that he was having a thing with her."
In total, eight men were arrested after police uncovered what was a pedophile ring the father created to pimp out his own daughter dubbed the "Evil 8". The father was charged with raping the girl, forcing her to wear bondage gear, advertising her to men online — and then watching them rape her. The abuse took place from the time the girl was 11 to when she was 13.
The father pleaded guilty to 61 offenses earlier this year, and five other men admitted to their part in the abuse. One man was cleared, and Impicciatore is the only one who pleaded not guilty.
During his trial, the court also heard an interview the victim gave police when she was 13.
"He took me into the bedroom and had sex with me," she said. "He told me to lie down on the bed and he got on top of me. He was doing the same thing for about half an hour."
She said during the rape her father was in room making sure she was "okay," calming her down and "making sure they weren't too violent or rough." Her father had initially contacted Impicciatore because he needed help getting rid of another member of the ring, Pastor David Volmer. He had become threatening, and the girl said he would get upset if she cried.
"My dad wanted to get rid of him," she said. "He didn't want to do it alone, my dad wanted someone to back him up so that's why he got the other guy."
Volmer was sentenced to over 10 years in prison, and the father has been sentenced for over 22 years. He is also appealing the length of his sentence.
"I really want to get out of this scene," the girl's father told police after his arrest. "I'm going to be honest, it was fun while it lasted but it went way over the line."
