JUSTICE Frazer Pipit told a father of three that only animals like him could do what he did to his two daughters and jailed him 37 years in the National Court in Lae on Friday.
The 43-year-old father of three impregnated his 16-year-old daughter twice and raped his other 11-year-old girl between Jan 1, 2014 and July 31, 2017.
In sentencing the man from Waterise’s Ragizaria village in Markham, Morobe, Justice Pitpit said it was a total breach of trust, authority and dependence which his biological daughters placed on him.
“This was an inhuman act by someone they trust and look up to,” Justice Pitpit said.
“You were expected to show them love but you betrayed them.
“Only animals can do to their kind.”
The father, who was convicted on three counts of rape, first raped and impregnated his eldest daughter, then 16, who gave birth on June 19, 2015.
He, again, raped his eldest daughter between July 1 and 31, 2017, and got her pregnant again.
This time, he was arrested.
The father had also earlier raped his second daughter, then 11, and a grade four student.
On the first two counts of rape, Justice Pitpit ordered the father to serve concurrently 17 years each in prison.
On his third rape charge, he will serve 20 years in prison.
Justice Pitpit ordered that the pre-custodial sentence of four years and eight months to be deducted and the balance of 32 years and four months be served with hard labour in Buimo Prison.
