He continued preying on them into their 30s, in a case with chilling echoes of Austrian cellar monster Josef Fritzl.

But unlike Fritzl” who kept his daughter in a dungeon while fathering seven children” the British beast controlled his victims with decades of mental torture.
They were left too terrified to tell even their mother until finally turning to social workers this year.

Last night one of the daughters told The Sun: He can rot in hell. But despite being born out of hate we love our kids and always will.
She went on: He started touching me when I was about five. It was going on for years, but I didnt know my younger sister was also being abused until much later.

I am having to try to tell my kids, but it is going to be very difficult.

The 56-year-old divorced father, from Sheffield, moved the family around the country, so the girls never made friends they could confide in.
Prosecutor Nicholas Campbell, QC, told Sheffield Crown Court the daughters had several miscarriages, while some pregnancies were terminated when screenings picked up abnormalities.

Nine children were born but two died within hours.

Mr Campbell added: The seven surviving children have their own difficulties.

Two are severely incapacitated and one of them has been recently diagnosed with a fatal condition.

It seems clear that that mix of the DNA of this defendant and that of both his daughters showed that damage would be caused to their offspring.
Even after that damage became obvious he carried on impregnating his daughters.

The father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted 25 rapes and four indecent assaults.

He denied two charges of indecent assault and one of rape” insisting the assaults did not start as early as his victims claimed.

The prosecution accepted the pleas to spare them the trauma of being questioned in court.

The offences began in 1980 and continued until last February.

The younger daughter fell pregnant 12 times and her sister seven.

The father was remanded in custody until next month when he will be sentenced.

Fritzl, 74, will stand trial next year after being declared sane this month.

He kept daughter Elisabeth, now 42, locked in a dungeon in Amstetten for 24 years.
