A man who fathered 20 children was sentenced to life in prison after authorities found that he kept diaries detailing years of molesting children.
Ronald Little, 56, who lives in St Louis, pleaded guilty to 107 counts of child sexual abuse, including rape and forced sodomy.
Among those molested were two of his daughters and a granddaughter.
The St Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Little, 65, had already been serving out a 20-year sentence for child pornography charges.
Little has also fathered 20 children, and owed more than $100,000 in child support, records stated.
Prosecutors had told the court that the span and scope of Little’s abuse went much deeper.
Prosecutors alleged that he molested members of his own family beginning in 1969, and continuing until 2010.
According to the paper, his victims were as young as four or five years old.
The Post-Dispatch said that it was a member of Little’s family that finally stepped forward.
When police raided the house where Little lived, they discovered notes and journals detailing a history of his abuse.
Along with the journals, authorities found more than 150 pornographic photos.
