A father whose "depravity knew no end" has been jailed for 10 years for sexually abusing his two daughters and a babysitter more than 15 years ago.
Philip Tilston, 42, from Stretford, Greater Manchester, was convicted after a trial in November of indecently assaulting Kelly and Emma Barton, now 22 and 21, regularly between 1988 and 1992.
He was also found guilty of indecently assaulting a 13-year-old girl as she babysat his daughters.
Sentencing at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester, Judge Adrian Smith said: "These offences represent a series of depraved and serious sexual offences committed against your two natural daughters.
"They represent a terrible breach of trust because you were their father who was supposed to be caring for them at the times their mother was at work.
"They were in their own home - a place they should have felt safe and protected from the outside world. Instead it was the opposite - a place they were subjected to serious and prolonged abuse."
Describing the time Tilston forced the teenage babysitter on to his sofa, kissed her and tried to touch her, Judge Smith said she was "terrified".
"Your depravity knew no end," he said.
Tilston was sentenced to four-and-a-half years for eight counts of indecently assaulting Kelly Barton, four-and-a-half years for seven counts of indecently assaulting Emma Barton, and 12 months for indecently assaulting the babysitter.
These sentences are to be served consecutively and Tilston has been banned from working with children for the rest of his life.
