A monster father who sexually abused his daughters from the age of four and let his co-workers gang rape them has been jailed after more than two decades of torment.
The 80-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of his daughters, pleaded guilty to 87 charges in the Townsville District Court last week.
During a police interview, he blamed the 20-plus years of relentless sexual abuse on a 'vision' he had of one of his daughters becoming a drug addict and prostitute.
He claimed he wanted to 'shock' the girl out of following the path he saw in the vision, and subjected her to vaginal, anal and oral rape at knifepoint.
In a chilling twist, the girls' mother knew of the abuse and did nothing to stop it, the Townsville Bulletin reported.
The court heard of one incident where the man forced the family dog upon one of his daughters.
On another occasion the mother loaned $300 to her then 15-year-old daughter to pay for an abortion after the girl was impregnated by her rapist father. She was then made to pay back the money.
He also allowed his daughter to be gang-raped by groups of men after taking her to his workplace.
Defence barrister Tom Polley argued that his client was extremely remorseful for his decades long abuse and regretted what had happened.
Judge Lynham sentenced the father to 27 years jail.
