A 72-year-old man who sexually abused his three daughters has been jailed for 14 years today.
The pensioner, who cannot be named for legal reasons, fathered two children with one of his daughters during the sustained abuse in Dundee and Fife between 1976 and 1993.
He raped his oldest daughter, now 42, when she was just 12 years old. She gave birth to a daughter with him when she was 17 and a son when she was 23.
The man raped another of his daughters when she was eight and continued until she was 16. The other girl was targeted when she was 13 until she was 27, with her father threatening to shoot her.
Today at the high court in Kilmarnock he was sentenced to 14 years behind bars.
He was originally convicted after a week-long trial at the high court in Edinburgh when the jury found him guilty of repeatedly raping two of his daughters and using lewd and libidinous behaviour towards the other girl.
