Sydney, Mar 29 : After Austria and Italy, another man has been arrested for allegedly fathering eight children with his daughter.

Arcedio Alvarez, a Colombian man, is said to have abused his daughter, now in her thirties, since she was less than 10 years old.

The man was arrested on Friday in the town of Mariquita, after a complaint was filed by his daughter.

Her first pregnancy happened when she was only nine years old.

The woman had a total of 14 pregnancies from the relationship, although six ended in miscarriages. The offspring are now aged age one to 19.
