Wollongong: An Australian man has been sentenced to 12 years in jail for sexually abusing his teenage daughter for over a decade and fathering several children with her.
According to a report in Daily Mail, the man had pleaded guilty of repeated sexually abuse of his child and incest offence at the Wollongong District Court on Thursday.
The man is also accused to sexually abusing his two siblings, including his younger brother in 1980. He pleaded to the charge of ‘homosexual intercourse with a male under 10 years’.
He first raped his daughter when she was just a child and continued to sexually assault her for 11 years. The psychologist of the accused said that the man dealt with his personal problems by indulging in sexual acts and was ‘highly sexualised’. He is a repeat offender and began committing sexual offences at a very young age and his first victims were his own siblings, when they were just children.
The court was told that his daughter had suffered emotionally, psychologically and physically due to the years of abuse at the hands of her father. He had even impregnated her several times during the course of abuse. On one occasion, she had to undergo abortion, which was arranged by her father.
The man was accused of subjecting her to severe abuse and causing “a gross breach of the trust that every daughter must have in her father”.
