A Port Alberni father has been sentenced to four years in a federal prison for two sex offences involving his own daughters, provincial prosecutor Gordon Baines said.

In Nanaimo Supreme Court, Justice B. McKenzie sentenced the man for sexual assault and sexual interference with a person under the age of 14.

The case was moved to Nanaimo from Port Alberni in August 2010.

A publication ban prevents revealing the father’s identity in order to protect the victims’ identity.

The ban also prevents identifying the man’s wife, who was initially charged with him.

The offences involved their daughters, who were age four to 14 when the offences occurred.

“The Crown stayed the charges against the mother because it was determined that he was the directing mind behind the offences,” Baines said.

The parents were originally charged with two counts of sexual assault, one count of incest and one count of possession of child pornography.

But ultimately the father pleaded guilty to sexual assault and sexual interference of a person under age 14.

“We felt it important to do what we could so that the daughters wouldn’t have to go through the ordeal of testifying in a trial that could take three months,” Baines said.

In his statement of facts to the court Baines said that the father considered himself to be a religious leader in his household who saw himself as a god.

The father directed his wife to commit the offences with him “...under the guise of his religion,” Baines said.

In court, the father was “very charismatic” and “very believable,” Baines said.

The couple has since relinquished full custody of their daughters into the care of the Ministry of Children and Families.

The father will have a sex offender program available to him in prison.

He’s required to submit a sample of his DNA to the federal data bank. And he’ll be registered as sex offender when he’s paroled.

“The police will know where he his and what he’s doing at all times,” Baines said.
