A Saudi father had raped his daughter for nearly nine years until she decided to report him to the police when she became 19 years old.

The unidentified girl from the eastern port of Dammam told police this week her father had raped her since she was 10 years old.

“She said she could not report it before because he was threatening her…the father will stand trial next week,” Sabq newspaper said on Thursday.

It quoted police sources as saying the unnamed man already had committed 16 offences involving drugs and alcohol.
