A father who raped his newborn daughter and then made his infant son do the same to the little girl has been sentenced to life behind bars.
The North Queensland man, who cannot be named to protect the children’s identities, pleaded guilty to 87 charges in Townsville District Court this week and showed no emotion when he was sentenced on Tuesday.
Crown Prosecutor Monique Sheppard said that he deserved the maximum punishment for his ‘appalling’ crimes.
Among the Townsville man’s victims were his biological daughter, who he began sexually abusing when she was just one week old.
He also filmed and distributed the abuse to others online, the court heard.
Police searched his property in 2020 after being tipped off by a woman he had sent disturbing texts to, the Townsville Bulletin reported.
The search uncovered children’s underwear and images from videos of him raping his baby daughter.
‘The offending against her was indeed so serious, so heinous, deliberate and appalling that a sentence at the maximum term of imprisonment is warranted,’ Ms Sheppard said.
I HAVE NO WORDS — JUST VERY STRONG EMOTIONS!!!😭😭😭😭😭
This gentleman is Satan himself. A one-week-old baby girl? I think he should get the death penalty, and the mother for the child life imprisonment. This article makes me vomit trying to imagine this really happened to a one-week old baby.
