'Delusional' dad has 'unjust' sentence for repeated rapes of daughter extended

A "delusional" Canberra rapist has had three years added to the jail sentence imposed on him after he admitted sexually assaulting his own daughter dozens of times over several years.

Chief Justice Lucy McCallum described the original 12-year term as "unjust" on Wednesday, when she and two of her fellow ACT Court of Appeal judges re-sentenced the offender to 15 years behind bars.

The 38-year-old offender's non-parole period, which had initially been set at seven-and-a-half years, was increased to nine years and four months.
