“Elisabeth asked me to kidnap another girl for her to have company.”
This is what Josef Fritzl, 74, is going to claim during trial in the coming weeks, according to the newspapers in Europe.
In the sound-isolated bunker on Ybbstrasse 40, Josef’’s word was law. His daugher Elisabeth, 43, was his posession and her life consisted only of submitting to his will. But when the trial starts this coming Monday, the 74 year old man is expected to do nothing but blame his daughter while trying to drag her name through the mud.
Josef Fritzl’s lawyer, Rudolph Mayer has also revealed that his client denies having committed rape. During questioning he is alleged to have confessed to having sexual desires on his daughter from her early teens.
“Finally I couldn’t restrain myself anymore.” he is alleged to have said.
But he does not think he abused her against her will. His understanding was that she participated willingly. Elisabeth, on the other hand, does not agree. 11 hours of taped interviews with her will be played during the trial
She has told investigators about how her dad raped her around 3000 times, that he tied her up, drugged her, and threatened her to get her to do what he wanted.
“My client will deny rape and enslavement, but will admit to incest,” Fritzl’s lawyer said.
I have no doubt he will. But there is no way he’ll get away with it.
