The daughter has also accused the 43-year-old man of raping her in July, the Fujian-based Strait News reported yesterday.
The report said the Chongqing native girl went to Quanzhou City in Fujian with a companion of her cousin in the summer to visit her father, surnamed Chen, who had just been released from prison for drug trafficking.
Chen was not happy to see his daughter and allegedly asked her to work to earn money for him, the report said.
In July, Chen allegedly raped his daughter and tried to force her into prostitution. However, few men were willing to pay to have sex with the girl as she was so young, the newspaper said.
Chen then allegedly sent his daughter to a massage parlor, where she befriended a woman from Nan'an City, Fujian Province.
The woman felt sorry for the girl and took her to a game store in her hometown.
Chen reported to police that his daughter was abducted by the woman. After police found the girl in Nan'an, she made the allegations against her father, the report said.
Chen was caught by officers when he returned to a police station to fetch his daughter, according to the report.
The newspaper said Chen's wife left him after giving birth to their daughter.
The girl was raised by her grandparents in Chongqing.
