Schoolgirl, 13, repeatedly forced to have sex with her long-lost father after she tracked him down through Facebook

A schoolgirl was repeatedly forced to have sex with her long-lost father after she tracked him down through Facebook, a court heard.

The 13-year-old became aware of who he was through friends and Facebook postings and found out that he was living in South Yorkshire.

After meeting her father for the first time, the teenager was invited to stay longer and her mother eventually allowed her to live with the 41-year-old.But the man then went on to have sex with the youngster 'on a regular basis' over a six month period, Sheffield Crown Court heard.

Initially she slept on the sofa but when her father split up with his girlfriend he 'turned his attention' to his daughter, prosecutor Timothy Capstick said.The father rubbed her back before kissing her and the next day he said she could sleep in his bed and he would sleep on the sofa. 

But during the night he crept into the bed and started having sex with his own daughter, the court heard. 

Mr Capstick said: 'She did not resist because he was her dad. She said : "I had only just met him so I went along with it".She said she felt like hitting out but couldn't as he was her father. It happened again over a six-month period. He would have sex with her on a regular basis, every other day.' 

The court was told she had first become aware of her father's identity at the age of 13 'through friends and Facebook'. 

He encouraged the girl to drink alcohol before having sex with her. She eventually left the house and stopped living there.

The teenager, who is now 18 and cannot be identified, first told a social worker what had happened then went to the police last year.

Police officers found old texts on the man's phone which suggested he had been having a sexual relationship with his daughter.

What a disgusting man. Your own child.
