Man jailed after prostituting daughter

13:30 AEST Tue Jun 8 2010 By ninemsn staff

A Victorian father has been jailed for 13 years after prostituting his own teenage daughter to his truckie mates.

The man, 58, was also sentenced for molesting the girl himself, the Age reports.

He made a video recording of his daughter having underage sex with one of his friends, then said: "I think I'll have a go," the Victorian County Court heard.

The abuse began when she was just 13 years old.

The father-of-five groomed his daughter to become a prostitute by asking her if she wanted to make "some quick cash," the court heard.

He even paid her between $100 and $200 to have sex.

In a recorded a conversation between the pair, the father claimed that he abused his daughter to help her and because "it was good money".

"There is no real explanation for your behaviour other than that you were prepared to sexually exploit a vulnerable young person for your own sexual gratification," the judge reportedly said.

She said the father, whose name has been suppressed to protect his daughter's identity, caused the girl "profound harm" and "seriously eroded her prospects of a normal life," the Age reports.

He pleaded guilty to six counts including incest and having sex with a minor.

The judge rejected the man's claims that he molested his daughter because he had been a victim of sexual abuse from his mother.

He will be registered sex offender for life and must attend sexual offence courses while in jail.
