Dad jailed for violent abuse of three children (Adelaide, Australia)

I wonder if UNNAMED DAD was single or custodial. It's hard to believe there was a mother in this home, unless she was threatened or battered herself. And if so, wouldn't they mention that she was also abused?

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

Dad jailed for violent abuse of three children
Updated Wed Jun 29, 2011 8:23am AEST


A judge has told an Adelaide father who physically and sexually abused his children he had caused 'unimaginable' trauma for those he was supposed to protect.

The District Court heard a young girl and her two brothers lived through years of abuse from their father.

The man, 45, who cannot be identified, stood motionless as the court was told he raped his daughter.

Judge Mark Griffin said the man used his daughter as a 'sex toy'.

The court heard the man forced his two sons to watch pornography from the age of 12, including images of necrophilia, and would often punish them with violent beatings.

Judge Griffin said the man has shown no remorse.

He imposed a jail sentence of 18 years with a non-parole term of 12 years.
