A man who repeatedly sexually abused a 10-year-old girl acted as a "doting grandfather" but was actually making "sickening choices," a stepmother has said.
The man, who was aged 70 during his latest crimes and cannot be named for legal reasons, is due to be sentenced in the ACT Supreme Court on Tuesday, October 6.
He was previously found guilty by a jury of multiple charges including persistent sexual abuse of a child.
