A grandfather who sexually abused three of his young granddaughters has been jailed for 11 years. She continues to be affected by the abuse and had feared disclosing it would break up her family. She was abused after school over a period of three years by her grandfather, as well as in her home and her grandfather’s home. The court heard the accused man has no previous convictions and had pleaded guilty at an early stage. Mr Cody said his client did not challenge or minimize what he had done and had fully co-operated with the investigation.
