A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 13 years imprisonment for raping a 9-year-old girl on several occasions in 2010 and 2011.
The court was told that the father of two raped the adopted daughter of his defacto partner.
While sentencing the man, Lautoka High Court Judge Justice Priyantha Fernando told him that he was expected to look after the girl.
The Judge said the man raped the girl over a long period of time and this will surely scare her for the rest of her life.
The man also showed no remorse for his actions.
The Judge has placed a non-parole period of 12 years.
