Lydia Gouardo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lydia Gouardo, born November 13th 1962 in Maisons-Alfort,[1], is a French woman who was imprisonned for 28 years, raped, and tortured by her legal father (he was not her biological father) in their home in Meaux and Coulommes in Seine et Marne. The abuse took place from 1971 à 1999.
Lydia gave birth to six children, having been made pregnant by her father. During her imprisonment, she escaped and phoned legal aid, but her father recaptured her in a family residence in Melun.[citation needed] She was finally freed in 1999 when her father died.
Her mother was convicted for not reporting crimes she was aware of, and also for sexual abuse against one of Lydia's children.[2][3][4]
