A teenage girl twice became pregnant to man who sexually abused her for ten years, a jury was told.

Gary Mee, 51, of Chapel Street, Queensbury, is alleged to have begun molesting the girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, when she was about 11.

Bradford Crown Court was told yesterday that Mee that went on to rape her on a regular basis, even after she gave birth to his child.

Mee told the police he had never had sex with the girl but Richard Mansell, prosecuting, told jurors that DNA evidence showed the chances of the child being anyone but the defendant's was one in nine million.

Mee has since changed his story, Mr Mansell said, and now accepts that he had sex with her on one occasion with her consent.

The jury was told that about three years earlier the girl had become pregnant for the first time but had miscarried the child.

Mr Mansell described how Mee would regularly abuse the girl so much that it became part of her life.

"The abuse continued and it mainly involved him having sexual intercourse with her without her consent," he said.

"It happened regularly and became part of her life for the next few years."

He told the court that the girl had described the abuse by saying: "This had become part of my life. I believed it was something I should accept until he decided that it should stop."

In police interviews Mee, who has pleaded not guilty to three counts of indecency with a child and eight of rape, denied having any sexual contact with girl.

But Mr Mansell said that either the prosecution witness was lying or the defendant is in denial.

The alleged abuse stopped when she confronted Mee about what he was doing in the late 1990s, the court was told.

The trial continues.
