The 50 year- old man committed the offences from January 2005 to December 2017 at their residence in Nasinu.

The court heard that the man started committing the offence after his wife passed away in 2005.

The victim was 12-years-old when she was raped by her father in the first instance which continued until she was 25 years old.

The victim had told the court that her father told her that her face reminded him of his wife, the victim’s mother and that was the reason why he wanted sex from her.

She also told the court that she was never treated like a human being by her father.

High court Judge Justice Thushara Rajasinghe said that he used his daughter for his sexual gratification.

Justice Rajasinghe also said that he destroyed innocent childhood of his own daughter and jeopardized her future.

The man has been sentenced to 16 years and 9 months imprisonment with a non-parole period of 15 years and 9 months.
