A PEI Supreme Court judge handed down a 10 year prison sentence Thursday in Charlottetown to a man who had sex with his daughter.
The man pleaded guilty to six charges in all, including allowing another man to have sex with the girl.
The abuse started when the girl was a pre-teen and continued for several years.
Justice Benjamin Taylor called the man's crimes "evil and repugnant."
