Fritzl Daughter Finds Love With Bodyguard

Share

(Newser) – Elisabeth Fritzl has “renewed strength” after beginning a relationship with her bodyguard, the Telegraph reports. Fritzl, 42, was held captive in an Austrian cellar and raped by her father, Josef, for 24 years; she and her six children by her father are now under police protection. “They are a couple,” a source said. “Everyone saw from the beginning how secure she felt with him.”

I thought the same thing. Seems a bit like taking advantage of somebody who hasn't really had enough time or help to really be an independent person.

This is the saddest story of the year. They better execute that sick bastard father. He is a terrorist in the worst way. Reply
