A man who claimed he was sexually abused while living at the Central Queensland orphanage, Neerkol, has been jailed for raping his stepdaughter 120 times when she was aged about seven to 12 years old.
The man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, pleaded guilty in March in Rockhampton District Court to one count of maintaining a sexual relationship with a child.
Crown prosecutor Samantha O'Rourke said the 59-year-old defendant had been in a relationship with the girl's mother during the offending period, with the first sexual contact being when the child was aged six.
