[ Sentence; 6 counts of rape of daughter aged 11. Abuse continued for 16 months prior to arrest. Appellant had a previous conviction for an identical offence concerning an elder sister of the victim for which a sentence of 14 years imprisonment had been passed in 2004. Appellant entered pleas of guilty on first day of trial after agreeing Statement of Facts which he had not agreed when the matter was first set down for trial 7 months earlier. Not an early plea of guilty therefore a 20% discount considered appropriate. ]
