A Manitoba man already convicted of sexually abusing two of his granddaughters has admitted to sexually violating a third victim.

The 67-year-old man pleaded guilty Monday to one count of incest. A publication ban prohibits identifying the man by name or the First Nation where he lives.

The man admitted to having sexual intercourse with his granddaughter beginning in 2009 when she was six years old and ending in 2011.

The Crown stayed counts of sexual assault, sexual interference, and anal intercourse.

The man remains free on bail and will return to court for sentencing on Jan. 28. The Crown and defence is jointly recommending he be sentenced to seven years in prison.

The man was still on probation for sexually abusing another granddaughter when he committed the most recent offences.

In February 2008, the man was sentenced to 18 months time served for molesting his 12-year-old granddaughter in 2006.

Court at the time heard the man drove the girl to the local dump, where he asked her to take her pants off. When she refused, he forcefully removed them.

When he drove the girl home, the man told her to "bring (two other granddaughters) next time."

Police arrested the man days later when the victim told her mother of the incident.

At the time of the incident, the man was on parole after serving two years of a five-year sentence for incest. He had sexually abused another granddaughter several times when she was 12 and 13, and only admitted it when DNA tests proved he fathered his own great-granddaughter.

According to parole board documents, the man argued he didn't belong in prison.

"I shouldn't be in jail, my family needs my guidance to tell them how to live, to tell them what is right and what is wrong," he was quoted as saying.
