Between magic and history: an unusual case of incest

Abstract

The case presented here took place in the deep south of Italy where, even today in some areas, people continue to hold on to beliefs in magic and superstition. Such ways of thinking have deep roots and hold important cultural significance in this part of the country. What makes this case so unusual and interesting however, is the way in which the perpetrator went about sexually abusing his daughter: • Seeking the help of sorcerers. • Sadistic practices such as injecting sperm into the victim, as well as providing her with food and drink laced with sperm. • Psychological violence. • Isolation of the victim.
