They were horrible, disgusting acts that fathers would not contemplate happening to their daughters, let alone inflict on them.
She was just 10 when her father showed his true colours as the worst kind of sexual predator - one who preys on his own flesh and blood.
It was the first of many rapes over the next seven years, and she lived in dread of being left alone with her monster dad. In time, any love she had for him turned to hate as she suffered his attacks in silence. It was only in March last year that his heinous acts finally came to light, ironically after the girl's mother had scolded her for behaving like a prostitute with some male schoolmates.
The girl was so upset by this that she wrote a note to her mother that led to the unravelling of her father's crimes.
Yesterday, the father, 44, was jailed for 24 years and given the maximum 24 strokes of the cane after he pleaded guilty to his rape and sodomy offences. The electrical repairman showed no emotion as he fiddled with an inhaler in his hands when the sentence was read out to him.
He cannot be named to protect the identity of his daughter, who's now 18.
