A father found guilty of sexually abusing his 9-year-old daughter will be kept behind bars until his sentencing.
Last week the 52-year-old, who has interim name suppression, went on trial before Judge Jonathan Krebs and a jury of eight men and four women in the Whanganui District Court.
He pleaded not guilty to three charges each of doing an indecent act with a girl and unlawful sexual connection, two of raping a female under 12 and one each of being cruel to a child and threatening to kill or do grievous bodily harm.
