The mother of a toddler who died after suffering weeks of sexual abuse while in the care of her father has spoken of her horror at what happened.
Matthew Lee Williamson has admitted manslaughter over the death of his daughter Kyhesha-Lee Joughin.
She suffered weeks of vile abuse before she was found dead in her home in 2013.
Williamson has admitted failing to provide medical treatment for the girl and a court heard his first thought was to remove drug-smoking paraphernalia from the house before calling police.
His housemate, Christopher Kent, pleaded guilty to manslaughter last year.
Kent and Williamson have blamed each other for the appalling sexual abuse Kyhesha-Lee suffered.
After hearing the sickening details at the Supreme Court in Brisbane, Australia, yesterday - her mother Danielle Joughin broke down in tears and said that both deserved to be jailed.
“It’s hard to comprehend really,” Ms Joughin said.
“No one helped her. It’s disgusting.”
The court heard Kyhesha-Lee died at her home on Brisbane's northside of a perforated bowel after physical and sexual abuse.
The allegations Williamson denied, include using a large sex toy on the girl, punching her in the stomach and posing naked with her.
In another shocking claim, "a man kept a photo of himself with his penis draped over her daughter’s shoulder", News.com.au reports.
Despite her vomiting, showing bruising on her face, and leaving blood in her nappies, Williamson told the court he he didn't take Kyhesha-Lee to a doctor, Yahoo7 reports.
The court heard he also ignored that she was leaking blood from her genitals and had told him she "didn't want any fingers up her bum anymore".
"I didn't think anything of it at the time," he told the court.
“I was afraid I’d lose her to welfare … because of the state she was in."
Williamson used a rope system to lock Kyhesha-Lee in a room for up to 19 hours a day because she spilled milk over the floor, Seven News Queensland reported.
In her final hours, she was left unable to move, talk, eat or drink, according to paediatrician Professor Roy Kimble.
Crown prosecutor Phillip McCarthy reportedly asked in court: "Your first thought that goes through your heard, when your daughter is on the ground, dead, is that the police might get you for having a bong?"
Williamson responded: "That's correct."
Williamson's sentencing over the death will resume in a fortnight.
The case was adjourned until March 16 after his barrister requested a report into whether a "psychological abnormality" contributed to his behaviour.
