A MAN who sexually abused and orally raped his now teenage daughter from the time she made her First Holy Communion has been jailed for 12 years by Mr Justice Paul Carney.

The victim had complained several times that he was sexually abusing her and finally packed her bag and left home when her mother said they would "sort it out with him" when he returned from the pub that night.
