'Sex addict father' admits molesting and showering with his daughter, 3, 'too many times to remember' while his wife held her hand so it 'wouldn't hurt so much'
A 27-year-old man sexually assaulted his three-year-old daughter 'too many times to remember', during which time his wife would hold the toddler's hand so that it 'wouldn't hurt so much', court documents reveal.
The Michigan man, who is not being named to protect his daughter, has been arraigned on 12 counts of first degree sexual misconduct after it emerged he repeatedly raped the three-year-old, took illicit photographs of her for his own 'sexual gratification' and made her watch child porn.
The man admitted to Blackman-Leoni Township public safety detectives Joseph Merritt and Christopher Boulter that he may have attempted to have sex with his daughter six times but that in reality it occurred 'too many times to remember'.

His wife also admitted assisting her husband while he attempted to penetrate their daughter more than once, holding her hands 'so it wouldn't hurt so much' while he held her legs if she 'tried to get away', according to documents.
The graphic details were revealed in a petition filed by the Department of Human Services, which is seeking to terminate his and his wife’s parental rights.
They were living at the Avalon Hotel, 2000 Bondsteel Drive.
The abuse is believed to have begun late last year and continued until May, MLive reports.
It came to the attention of Children's Protective Services on May 7 when they received a complaint that the toddler was displaying 'sexualized behavior' such as 'humping her stuffed animals' and asking her brother for sex. She also found a pornography DVD and tried to watch it.
The wife claims her husband would force sex on her and she would physically shake in his presence, according to MLive.
He grabbed her throat once when she tried to stop him physically abuse her sons when they were two and four-years-old and told her if she called police he would throw her out the window.
The man told detectives he is a 'sex addict' and has gambling problems. He also said he was sexually abused as a child, as did his wife.
The couple would watch porn and have sex in front of the children.
The toddler's father wrote her an apology letter, which the petition quotes.
'If you're reading this, I am either dead or in jail. I am not proud of being here.
'I also was touched as a child and repressed its memory as long as I could. When we moved, that nightmare came back and haunted me and I unfairly took it out on you.
'I am sorry for what I have done and hope that you have a happy life wherever you end up.'
He also wrote: 'I know you are going to have a lot of questions as to why this happened and I can't tell you that at this time, I am not fully sure as to why this happened.
'Please know that I want the best for you and I am going to get the help I need. My head is not right and hasn’t been for a long time.'
The mother has not been charged with any crime as yet but the investigation is continuing.
