'I was blackmailed'
During sentencing at the High Court in Kilmarnock, judge Lady Clark told the man that his daughters had "suffered in silence". She said they had all been vulnerable and had attended special schools.
The accused showed no emotion as he left the court and did not look at his daughters who sat in the public gallery.

In an interview with BBC Scotland, the woman - known as Miss D - said: "I was blackmailed by him, saying that I would go to a home, my wee baby brother would go into care and my others sisters would go into care as well. After the sentencing at the High Court in Kilmarnock she said: "I'm delighted with the sentence, hopefully he will die in jail.

"And when I had my own children that they would be taken into care as well, so I just left it. "It is one less paedophile on the streets and one more step on getting my life back together."
"I was so frightened I'd lose my daughter." She thanked the jury and the judge for the conviction and the sentence.
The woman added: "I am disappointed he did not show any regret or remorse for his actions and did not acknowledge what he has done to me and my family.
"He has ruined my life and that of so many others and I will never be able to forgive him.
"I hope he rots."
Lady Clark of Calton described the man's offences as "terrible" and criticised him for his reluctance to admit the impact he has had on his daughters' lives.
She said: "You have been found guilty of very serious criminal charges against your daughters. The charges are terrible in their terms.
"You were in a position of trust and your daughters have suffered terribly over the years."
Lady Clark sentenced him to 14 years in prison on each of the four rape charges and one year in custody for a charge of lewd and libidinous behaviour.
The sentences will run concurrently.
