Gonorrhea is transmitted through sexual intercourse. The older girl was treated April 3 for an apparent yeast infection, court documents state. But the treatment didn't work, and doctors discovered she had gonorrhea. The man told police he took medication for gonorrhea but stopped when he ran out. He is charged with molesting his daughter between February and April 11.
Gonorrhea is curable but if untreated can cause pelvic-inflammatory disease.
