10 years later: Here’s what happened to the 'monster dad' who held his daughter prisonerOne of the most shocking incest trials in recent history began on Monday,March 16, 2009, with Austrian Josef Fritzl facing charges for imprisoning and raping his daughter for 24 years. He shot to notoriety after he imprisoned his daughter, raped her more than 3 000 times and fathered seven children by her. The so-called “monster dad” has no teeth, his health is failing and he spends his days doing menial tasks behind bars, Austrian media report. Fritzl (83) held his daughter Elisabeth captive from age 18 under his house in Amstetten, Austria, telling his wife Rosemarie and police that she had run away with a cult, Spiegel Online reports. It was only two decades – and seven children – later that Elisabeth’s horrifying ordeal came to an end.
