A father has been jailed for 22-and-a-half years for repeatedly raping his daughter and allowing strangers to abuse her as well.


The man admitted 61 offences against his daughter, who cannot be named for legal reasons, between 2013 and 2015 at the District Court of Western Australian in Perth.


The court heard that after his arrest he told police that although he regretted his actions he thought it “was fun while it lasted”.


The girl, who was living with her father after her parents separated, was aged between 11 and 13 at the time.  

The 42-year-old father had also arranged for seven other men, whom he had met after putting up adverts on Craigslist, to rape her while he watched and sometimes participated.


The girl was also forced to pose for pornographic photos and videos.


On one occasion the father and another man were filming raping the girl as she was shackled to the bed with her face covered and forced to wear a dog collar with the word “b****” written on it.
In the footage the girl is seen struggling and begging for her father to stop, the West Australian reported.


The abuse was discovered following an anonymous tip-off from a member of the public in April last year. Police removed the girl from the home and later charged the seven men with 503 offences between them.
