A man who had sex with his minor daughter has pleaded guilty to four charges of incest levied against him.
The man had sex with his daughter on at least four occasions between 2014 and 2015 when the young girl was around 15.
The victim reportedly got pregnant at the age of 15 as a result of the unlawful sexual intercourse.
The accused was in his early 40s at the time.
Further reports state that the act came to light when the young girl took the defendant to court for child support.
The man will be sentenced on May 10.
