A Littlehampton father-of-five, who began sexually abusing his twin daughters after their sixteenth birthdays – even paying one to visit his new flat – has been jailed for six years.
“These are sad and disgraceful offences committed by a father who has probably damaged forever the trust they would expect,” announced Judge William Wood QC at Chichester Crown Court (pictured).
“It is a course of conduct over a considerable period of time and with twin girls it makes it twice as bad,” added the judge. “Both girls are seriously affected.”
The 62 year-old dad, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to nine charges of sexual assault committed at the family home in Dean Close, Wick between March 2010 and April, this year.
Prosecutor Mr. Alisdair Smith told the court: “From the time they turned sixteen and as his marriage broke down the defendant sexually assaulted both of them with his finger and one of the girl’s with a metal tube.
“He told his wife she was too old for him and he preferred younger women and wished she looked as she did when she was aged sixteen.”
The first daughter assaulted told police her father fondled her breasts after encouraging her to sit on his lap as they watched television.
He similarly assaulted her as she prepared breakfast, but the abuse escalated to fondling her between her legs and became a daily occurrence.
As the family was torn apart the defendant moved to a flat nearby and paid the teen £50-£100 to visit him, when she was also assaulted with a thin metal tube.
He even forced her to strip naked and masturbate him on ten to twenty occasions and performed oral sex on the girl.
Her sister was similarly abused, but the assaults did not go beyond groping her breasts and forcing his hand between her legs.
When eventually arrested on April 4 the Polish-born father told police his marriage was “hell” insisting he was the victim of “lies.”
The first-time offender later admitted the offences, claiming he was always drunk when he committed them and did not gain any sexual gratification.
He has been locked-up since his arrest and both twins have insisted they never want to see him again.
“I need to impose a prison sentence on you,” Judge Wood told the defendant, also placing him on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
A sex offenders prevention order was also made, prohibiting the defendant having any contact with girls aged under sixteen without consent.
