Even though they would cry and say “no,” the man told police he wanted “to have that pleasure and didn’t have the insight to stop himself,” a Saskatoon provincial courtroom heard.

The offender, who cannot be identified because it would reveal the identity of his victims, turned himself into police after his oldest daughter told his wife that “Daddy likes to lick my bum.”

At first, the 44-year-old denied the allegations. Four days later, he confessed to anally and orally penetrating his two- and three-year-old adopted daughters between 20 and 30 times, starting when the youngest was approximately four months old.

The man almost immediately pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference that took place between Jan. 1, 2017 and May 11, 2018. On Friday, he told Judge Doug Agnew that he was ready to tell the truth and get treatment.
