The DA stated that once the daughter realized what was going on, the defendant pinned his arms down and raped the girl.
The victim, as soon as she escaped from the house, ran to another family member for help.
The victim told police that her father had abused her sexually as a child when they responded.
The defendant appeared before Suffolk County Judge Karen M. Wilutis on Wednesday and pleaded guilty of first-degree sexual assault.
