Father gets 9-year jail term for raping, pimping disabled daughter to friends

Melbourne, June 8 (ANI): A man who sexually abused his intellectually disabled daughter and pimped her for money to his friends has been jailed for nine years.

The sexual abuse began when the girl, known only as JBC, was 11 years old and continued for nine years.

When asked why he had prostituted her, the man, who cannot be identified because it would reveal his victim's identity, replied "I was helping her and it was good money".

The father of six pleaded guilty to counts of maintaining a sexual relationship with a child under 16 who was his daughter, receiving payment for sexual services, inducing a child to take part in an act of prostitution, producing child pornography and two charges of incest.

A judge told the man that he treated the victim, now aged 24, as a sex object and his offending constituted a gross breach of trust by a father towards his daughter.

"You took advantage of a mildly intellectually-disabled child to sexually exploit her for your own gratification," the Herald Sun quoted the County Court judge as saying. (ANI)
