There is the case of a 63-year-old man and his son being charged with incest and abuse.
The older man has been identified as Michele Mongelli from Turin in a case which had been shrouded in mystery.
I am sorry for the bad pun, but I couldn't help it.
Anyway, Mongelli's actions and that of his son, Giuseppe, rival that of Fritzl's:
A FATHER who kept his daughter locked up in a darkened room for 25 years and raped her repeatedly has been arrested by Italian police.
The case has sent shock waves across the country and has already been dubbed by the media as Italy's "Josef Fritzl" case.
The 64-year-old father also "groomed" his son to sexually abuse the woman. The abuse started when the woman, now aged 34, was nine.
Prosecutors also claimed that scrap metal dealer Michele Mongelli encouraged his son, 41, to go on to abuse his own young daughters aged six, eight, 12 and 20.
Holy crap:
Listening devices had been placed in the handset of 64-year-old Michele Mongelli's telephone as part of the probe against him and his son Giuseppe, 41.
Officers heard the scrap metal dealer carry out the attack on his daughter, 34, after the handset had been misplaced. One investigator involved in the case said: "It was horrific."
Meanwhile specially trained psychologists were questioning the woman and her four nieces as they pieced together a shocking case of child sex abuse said to have been carried out by a father on his own daughter for 25 years.
Mr Mongelli is said to have raped his daughter and "groomed" his son Giuseppe to abuse not only his sister but also his own four children, aged between six and 20.
The two men were arrested last week in what has already been dubbed Italy's version of the Josef Fritzl case - the Austrian who was jailed for life earlier this month for enslaving and raping his daughter for 24 years and fathering her seven children.
There was shock in Turin that such a horrific case had gone unnoticed for so long - especially as the eldest victim, named as "Laura", had escaped from the room where she was being held in 1994 and told police she was being abused.
And it's not just an eastern hemisphere phenomenon, either.
Take--please--the case of Arcebio Alvarez, 58, of Colombia, who is charged with sexually abusing his daughter and fathering eight children with her:
A Colombian man has been accused of sexually abusing his daughter from a young age and fathering eight children with her in the latest of a series of incest cases that have appalled the world.
Arcebio Alvarez, 58, abused his daughter from the age of 10 after she was left alone in his care when her mother died, the 35-year-old woman has told police. He fathered three boys and five girls with her, aged from 1 to 19. All the children have been removed from the family home and are now in the care of the state.
Mr Alvarez denies the claims, saying the woman is not his biological daughter
Human depravity knows no bounds.
