SEATTLE, WA - The trial of a former Seattle police sergeant accused of sexually assaulting his two daughters in Lake Forest Park will likely wrap up this week, with closing arguments scheduled for Monday.

Daniel Amador, 45, was arrested in April 2016 and later charged with first-degree child molestation, third-degree child molestation, first-degree incest, and several counts of child rape. Lake Forest Park police investigated the case after Amador's now-adult daughters went to Seattle police in 2016 about the abuse. According to charging documents, Amador favored raping his oldest daughter in particular. The woman, who is now 24, told Lake Forest Park police the abuse began when she was 4. Her father would allegedly rub himself on her while they napped. The abuse escalated over the years, according to court records, and continued until the woman moved away from home at age 20.

"[The victim] stated at age 10, around 4th grade, her father told her that they had a special relationship and that he 'loved her in all ways as a daughter, a wife, and a lover.' He gave her a ring and told her it was their wedding ring. To the outside world he called it a 'purity' ring," Lake Forest Park Det. Amy Troxell wrote in charging papers. Amador's younger daughter told police that her father would pin her to a bed, sometimes while naked. During "pinnings" he would kiss her all over her body. The daughter fought back, and the abuse did not escalate to the same point as with her older sister, according to court documents.

Seattle P-I reporter Lynsi Burton has been covering the trial as it proceeds. Read testimony from the trial here. Both state officials and Seattle police investigated allegations of abuse against Amador before his arrest. In 2013, state Child Protective Services ordered that the family undergo family counseling. Amador's daughters told police in 2016 that their father told them to lie to CPS, or else the family would be destroyed.

Amador was also sued for brutality after a 2009 incident where he and other officers forcefully stopped a teen who was seen jaywalking. That lawsuit was eventually thrown out of federal court.

Amador was arrested in Kirkland in 2016 after he was allegedly recorded in a phone call admitting to the abuse.
