The convict, who hails from Huddersfield, West Yorks, within the aforementioned period fathered three children with his own daughter.
The prosecuting counsel, Patrick Palmer, had told the court that the police arrested the convict in 2005, but left him with a warning, after the daughter had already given birth to a male child with another baby on the way.
Palmer said that the girl was meant to believed another man was her father until she was a teenager, because she hasn't seen her real dad since she was a toddler.
The prosecutor said when she found out the truth, she began getting to know her real dad, adding that she moved in with him following a problem at home with her stepfather.
Palmer said she told the police that she was 14 when she had her first kiss and romance with her father, adding that they started having sex regularly in 2002, when she had her first son for him.
The man was arrested in 2005 for incest after he admitted being the father of his daughter's son, but he was released by the police since there was no sexual complaint filed by his daughter at that time.
Palmer told the court the father was put on the sexual offences register for two years.
Jailing the father, who admitted 10 charges of incest, one of indecent assault and one of gross indecency, Judge Christopher Batty said the police were unaware at that time that the defendant’s daughter was actually pregnant again with his second child who was born later that year.
He said: 'At some point in the ensuing months you signed an agreement with Social Services you would not see each other and yet continued to do so.'
The court heard that although the frequency of their sexual contact reduced their third child was born in 2010.
The judge told him: 'By this time she describes you as a controlling and jealous man.
'Life was clearly unpleasant for her so much so that in 2012 she went to the police.'
Stephen Welford, mitigating for the father, said his client accepted his daughter was vulnerable when she had sought him out, but because of their previous lack of contact they did not have the usual parental bonding which perhaps contributed to what happened.
