The accused pleaded guilty to multiple sexual offences involving his biological daughter, including incest and sexual activity beginning when the complainant was under 14 years old and continuing intermittently over many years.
The offences involved repeated vaginal, oral, and anal intercourse, an abuse of parental trust, and resulted in a pregnancy that ended in an abortion.
The complainant had intellectual limitations and remained vulnerable throughout the prolonged abuse.
The court emphasized denunciation and deterrence as primary sentencing objectives, finding rehabilitation of limited relevance given the offender’s age and lack of remorse.
A penitentiary sentence of eight years was imposed along with several ancillary orders.
