Father jailed for life after repeatedly raping 3-year-old daughter

A Michigan dad is facing life behind bars for raping his 3-year-old daughter.
The 28-year-old pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
The father's identity is being withheld to protect the little girl, whom he admitted to raping "too many times to remember," according to court documents.
He faces life in prison when he is sentenced by Jackson County Circuit Judge John McBain on Dec. 4.
The man will spend at least 25 years in correctional facilities because of the girl's age, according to mlive.com.
McBain could also order the father to serve two consecutive terms of 25 years or more for each count.
The guilty plea is the result of a deal with prosecutors, who agreed to drop 10 counts against the man. As part of the deal, the man promised to testify against his wife.
The 36-year-old mother was also charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct after she was arrested in August.
She told a detective that she had been sexually abused by her husband.
But she stayed silent for months as the dad shifted his attentions toward his little girl.
The mom admitted to helping her husband rape the child more than once, even holding the girl's hands, so "it wouldn't hurt that much."
The abuse occurred while the couple lived in the Avalon Hotel in Jackson, from August 2012 to May 2013.
Social services came to the child's rescue after she started showing "sexualised behaviour." She reportedly asked her older brother for sex and wanted to watch an adult movie.
The Michigan Department of Human Services is seeking to sever both parents' rights to their daughter, who is now 4 years old.
They also want to terminate the mother's rights to her two young sons, ages 6 and 8.
The mom is being held in county jail while prosecutors assemble the case against her. A preliminary examination is scheduled for Oct. 17.
