A North Texas man has been sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole after being found guilty of sexually abusing several children and impregnating his underage daughter.

Danny Richard Minor, 40, of The Colony, was convicted Thursday on five counts of child sex abuse.

Prosecutors said that, from 2002 to 2009 while living in Plano, north of Dallas, Minor molested two of his own children as well as an unrelated child.

One of the victims came forward about the abuse in 2009, however the investigation was stalled due to 'conflicting statements', according to the Collin County District Attorney's Office.

Minor then left Plano and moved 20 miles west to The Colony. However the abuse continued at the new home.

Then, in June 2014, a second child came forward. The statement given by the child matched up with the information given by the first child in 2009.

Minor was arrested and a search warrant was obtained for his DNA.

'A paternity test confirmed that Minor is the biological father of his daughter's child,' Collin County District Attorney’s Office spokesman Bill Dobiyanski said, according to CBS DFW.

Scene: This is the last known address of Danny Richard Minor in The Colony, Texas. Minor moved to the area in 2009 after police first started investigating him on child sex abuse allegations

On Thursday he was found guilty of three counts of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Young Child and two counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child.

The continuous sexual abuse charged involve children under 14 years of age

On Friday, the jury sentenced Minor to life confinement without the possibility of parole on each count of continuous sexual abuse of a young child and life confinement on each count of aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Requests for access to Minor's court documents have not yet been granted, according to The Houston Chronicle.

It is unclear exactly how old his daughter and her baby are.
