They also stated that their other two minor sisters were likely to have been sexually abused as well. The ISF statement went on to say, that the mother of the girls has admitted to having been aware of what the father was doing but could not do anything to stop him. Upon investigation with the assailant, the father (50), reportedly confessed to sexually assaulting his two daughters and abusing the other two (13 and 15 years).
