A woman has been made to pay after she held down her daughter as her partner carried out a brutal r*pe act on her.
The mother was said to have pinned her daughter down as her partner r*ped her.
She and her partner have however been sentenced to jail.
The incident occurred the night before the teenager’s 15th birthday at her Rockhampton home, in northern Queensland in April 2015, reported News Mail.
The 36-year-old mother with more than six children whispered her partner’s wish to have sex into her daughter’s ear before the assault took place.
Judge Michael Shanahan said the mother not only held down her daughter but also took off her pants.
‘She was resisting and told you to stop,' Judge Shanahan said.
Judge Shanahan did not differentiate between the partner committing the r*pe and the mother allowing it to happen.
He described the mother's actions as a ‘substantial breach of trust from a mother to her daughter'.
The court also heard the teenager, who slept in the same bed as her mother and her partner, was threatened to stay quiet.
The couple were found guilty and each sentenced to seven years behind bars.
