A 34-year-old Indiana from United States of America was, Thursday, sentenced to160 years imprisonment.
Nicholas Deon Thrash who impregnated his girlfriend’s 10-year-old daughter after repeatedly raping her was sentenced to the imprisonment in Marion, Indianapolis.
He was found guilty of 10 counts of molestation against his girlfriend’s daughter in August this year.
The mother is also facing charges for allegedly telling her daughter to lie and say a classmate had impregnated her when she discovered her growing bump as she tried on dresses for a school dance.
DailyMail.com has chosen not to name the mother in order to protect the identity of her daughter.
The child was 10 at the time and is now 12. She gave birth to a baby boy in September 2017.
Thrash lied throughout his trial that he did not impregnate her and claimed her mother artificially inseminated her own daughter with his sperm.
He was arrested after another member of the family discovered that the girl was five months pregnant.
Earlier this year, during his trial, the rapist had to be removed from court after shouting lies about the victim to the jury.
At one stage, the girl testified against him.
She clutched a stuffed animal to her chest as she told the jury how he had attacked her at least 15 times.
The girl’s mother is yet to appear in court. She has been charged with neglect.
It remains unclear if she knew the abuse was happening at the time or if she only discovered it when she found out her daughter was pregnant.
