'Argentine Fritzl' fathered daughter's seven children, DNA test confirms  

Armando Lucero, who was placed in a maximum security prison on May 11 for "aggravated and repeated sexual abuse", is said to have raped the three girls from early childhood.
The tragic drama unfolded in the city of Mendoza, about 620 miles west of Buenos Aires
Officials are now waiting for the results of psychological exams of Lucero, who has come to be known as the "Monster of Mendoza" in a case chillingly similar to the Austrian incest scandal that shocked the world last year.
In that case, Josef Fritzl, 73, was sentenced in March to life in prison for imprisoning his daughter in a secret dungeon for 24 years, and for the death of one of the seven children he had with her.
Lucero faces a maximum penalty of 50 years in prison. The woman at the center of the drama, now 35, fled her family home to obtain protection from the local authorities.
She told investigators that she had been sexually abused repeatedly over a period of 20 years, during which time she bore her father seven children.
The woman decided to break her silence, she said, because her father threatened to sexually abuse one of her daughters.
Lucero, who is unemployed, lived in his home with his daughter and their children, as well as his second wife and his stepmother.
His civil record shows he had seven children by his wife and eight more children from a previous marriage. Counting his liaison with his daughter, he would have fathered 22 children.
The seven children he has fathered with his daughter are now between the ages of two and 19.
Another one of Lucero's daughters, aged 40, has said she was raped by her father from the age of eight.
