A British man who fathered seven children with his two daughters during a campaign of abuse spanning more than quarter of a century received 25 life sentences today.
The 56-year-old man repeatedly raped his daughters, who between them went through 19 pregnancies, Sheffield Crown Court heard.
The campaign started when the women were aged between eight and 10. If they refused their father's advances, they were badly beaten.
Today, Judge Alan Goldsack QC ordered the Sheffield man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, to serve 25 life sentences that will run concurrently.
He said the minimum term he should serve in jail should be 19-and-a-half years.
