RAPED OR HER KIDS STARVED CELLAR sex slave Elisabeth Fritzl let her dad repeatedly rape her to save her children from starvation.
Deeply traumatised Elisabeth, 42, has given police a harrowing account of the 24 years she spent as a prisoner under her evil dad’s iron rule.
She said she had no choice but to consent to sex with the beast or he would have cut off her food supply.
At first, she was handcuffed to a metal pole in the darkness of the cellar under the family home which would be her home for a quarter of a century.
The sickening abuse continued long after she started giving birth to children by her father Josef Fritzl, 73.
But instead of showing any glimmer of compassion, he threatened to starve the tots too if she refused his demands for sex.
Fritzl told them the dungeon was booby-trapped and they would be gassed to death if anyone ever tried to overpower him. She told police: “I don’t know why it was so, but my father simply chose me for himself. How did I survive? It was either let him rape me or we starved.”
Elisabeth feared Fritzl from the age of 11 when he first molested her at their home in Amstetten, Austria. The abuse continued throughout her schooldays either at house, in his car or on walks to nearby woods.
She twice ran way but was returned by police. In a heartbreaking admission, she said she was too ashamed to tell her friends what he was doing.
Eventually, Fritzl drugged her when she turned 18 and locked her away in the cellar, telling his wife Rosemarie, 68, that she had run off to a sect. The horrific story only came to light when one of the prisoners, Kerstin, 19, had to be taken to hospital.
Now Elisabeth and the two sons locked away with her – Stefen, 18, and Felix, five – are being cared for in a clinic.
They stunned doctors by asking for their dungeon existence back as they struggle to cope with opens spaces after years spent locked away.
So psychiatrists have used a huge container to build an imitation of their former cramped quarters.
Doctors say Elisabeth and her sons are coping well, but wanted the mock-up cellar as a quiet “home-from-home” area to retreat.
And they are meeting three more of the children Fritzl fathered – Lisa, 15, Monika, 14, and Alex, 12 – who were taken from the cellar and brought up normally in the house. A doctor said: “In the clinic, the children can shout, play and get to know their siblings from ‘outside of the cellar’. Physically, they are in quite good condition. And they love the clinic food.”
More amazing evidence into Fritzl’s horrific crimes emerged yesterday.
Police revealed the monster was plotting to release his cellar kids this summer – then tell the world that he rescued them from an evil sect.
He forced Elisabeth to write a letter home at Christmas which read: “If all goes well, I hope to be back within six months.”
Control freak Fritzl posted it to Rosemarie, who had always believed Elisabeth had vanished into the clutches of a weird cult in 1984. He planned to blame their appalling mental disorders on years in solitary confinement at the hands of the cult. But his carefully-mapped-out plan backfired Kerstin fell seriously ill.
He had to rush her to the local hospital where doctors – baffled by Kerstin’s unexplained condition – became suspicious. Elisabeth had stuffed a secret note in Kerstin’s clothing.
Part of the note read: “Wednesday, I gave her aspirin and cough medicine for the condition. Thursday, the cough worsened. Friday, the coughing gets even worse. She has been biting her lip as well as her tongue.
“Please, please help her! Kerstin is really terrified of other people, she was never in a hospital. If there are any problems please ask my father for help, he is the only person that she knows.
“Kerstin, please stay strong, until we see each other again! We will come back to you soon!”
Doctors made a TV appeal for Kerstin’s mum.
Although he tried desperately to bring forward his timetable, Fritzl was eventually caught out when police swooped and seized him and Elisabeth.
He knew the game was up and eventually confessed all.
