HAMILTON — A western Montana man has been sentenced to 200 years in prison for impregnating his 11-year-old granddaughter and sexually assaulting the girl’s younger sister.
District Judge Jeffrey Langton sentenced the 55-year-old Stevensville man on Wednesday to 100 years each on two counts of incest, saying he seems “to lack any semblance of a conscience.”
The Associated Press is not identifying the man to avoid identifying the victims.
The man was arrested in June after the 11-year-old girl was found to be 32 weeks pregnant. She gave birth in August. He was the guardian of both girls.
The man pleaded guilty in November and briefly apologized before his sentencing. He would have to serve 50 years in prison before being eligible for parole.
