The 42-year-old Worcester man, who denied guilt throughout the trial, was sentenced by the Worcester Regional Court to three life terms and 15 years' direct imprisonment.

The man cannot be named as his identity may lead to direct identification of the victims, which may lead to secondary victimisation.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Eric Ntabazalila, said the man was charged with attempted rape, three counts of rape, and a count of sexual assault.

In counts one and two, the victim was his stepdaughter, and she was 10 years old and 15 years old at the times when the crimes were committed.

In counts three and four, the victim was his biological daughter, and these crimes happened when she was 10 years old and 11 years old.
