A GERMAN truck driver who fathered eight children with his stepdaughter and peddled her body to other men has been convicted of 162 counts of sexual abuse by a judge who called him a “pitiless egoist” and handed down a sentence that could keep the man locked away for life.

A man whose stepdaughter bore eight of his children has been jailed in Germany for 14½ years.

A GERMAN trucker admitted yesterday to fathering seven children with his stepdaughter, but denied sexually abusing her, her brother and his biological daughter over a 23-year alleged reign of terror.
