German father sentenced to six years in jail for castrating daugther’s lover
Bielefeld, Germany (AHN) – A German father was sentenced to six years in jail for castrating the 58-year-old man who seduced his school age daughter and then slept with her for six months.
According to court documents the victim who has five children and nine grandchildren, must now take hormone supplements for the rest of his life to maintain normal levels and not start developing female traits.
Helmut Seifert, the girl’s 48-year-old father was convicted of serious assault and also ordered to pay financial restitution of $116,000.
“You did something incredibly cruel,” Judge George Zimmermann said.
In November when the father learned his 17-year-old daughter had a lover nearly three times her age he became incensed.
Seifert tried to get police to intervene and end the romance but they refused. So he and two friends found the man, Phillip Genscher in his apartment, stripped of his clothes then bound and gagged him before cutting off his testicles. They then called an ambulance to pick up the victim.
Genscher narrowly avoided bleeding to death.
“I was only trying to protect my child,” said the defendant, who is a cleaner. “I’m sorry. I over-reacted.”
What made the case even more shocking was the fact the victim was the grandfather of the girl’s best friend in school. Reportedly she used to call him “Grandpa.”
The victim contends he was in love with the teen and she was the reason why he ended his 36-year marriage.
The victim insisted he had been in love with her, and had ended his marriage of 36 years to be with her.
The judge however wasn’t impressed and said he had been living in a “fantasy world” and his affair with the girl had been a “dead-end street.”
