A 28 year old man was sentenced to 6 years in jail for having a sexual relationship with his eldest step daughter and making her pregnant.
The man had started having a sexual relationship with the girl when she was just 14 and he had sex with her about twice a month for 2 years.
The offences first started in July 2011 and during the course of their consensual relationship, the girl also got pregnant and gave birth to a boy earlier this year.
The court heard that the girl did not know that she was pregnant even though she had started to put on weight on her belly in August last year.
The accused had noticed the swelling of the abdomen but the girl simply said that she didn’t have any other symptoms of pregnancy.
The court explained that the man was in a position of trust and influence over the young girl and he had abused that relationship for his own sexual gain.
The man was charged with 45 charges but he pleaded guilty to 9.
