A Southern Downs man was convicted in February of sexually abusing his own daughter for a decade, starting when she was just three years old.
The Warwick District Court heard the man sexually assaulted the girl on six occasions between September, 1981 and December, 1991, while he was aged between 25 and 35.
The now 64-year-old, who cannot be named, admitted to parts of the offending in a phone call years later.
Crown prosecutor Stephen Muir said one of the most serious assaults took place when the girl was only four years old, with the father âemotionally blackmailingâ her into hiding the abuse.
The man was convicted of raping or sexually abusing another two girls under 16 within the same 10-year period, for which he was serving a seven-year jail term at the time of these court proceedings.
