A woman who was sexually abused by her parents as a child has confronted them two decades later, after their release from prison.

The depraved couple, named only as Jim and Justine, were convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison each in 1996 for the incestuous attacks on their teenage daughter Amanda, which lasted for around three years. 

In a harrowing episode of Dr Phil, the victim, now in her 30s, confronted her biological parents, revealing how their abuse wrecked her life.

In the second installment of the show, which airs Thurday, her father admitted to being the mastermind behind the sexual abuse of his daughter.

'I never had guilty or second thoughts after my first time with Amanda. She was 12 years old,' Jim said, adding that the sex was 'mechanical'.

Amanda says the abuse started when she was about 11 years old, and that her parents plied her with alcohol and gave her rewards for submitting to their demands. 

'The first time that Jim tried to have sex with me, I actually was not able. Justine was there. They tried a progression of things that might ease the pain. Justine even suggested alcohol. That did work. 

'Afterwards it was a normal night. Dessert, brush my teeth and bedtime,' Amanda said. 

But they also threatened her against telling anyone about their encounters. 

'Jim and Justine would threaten that if I talked about any of this to anyone I would never see the house or my dogs, my trampoline, ever again,' she said. 

'I never had guilty or second thoughts after my first time with Amanda. She was 12 years old,' Amanda's father Jim (pictured) said, adding that the sex was 'mechanical'.

Dr Phil blasted the couple for the horrifying sexual abuse of their daughter 

Amanda says that her parents would have sex with her usually about once a week, and most of the encounters were filmed to make child pornography. Her parents allegedly told her that the money was for her college education.

She even claims that her mother tried to give her tips by having sex with her dad in front of her. In one instance, Amanda says her mother brought her into a bathroom to teach her how to French kiss.  

Every time that her parents mentioned having sex, she says she tried to put it off. 

'If it was brought up before hand, I usually tried to at least push it back a little bit without disappointing them. 

'It was rather hard because they did tell me that If I wanted to stop or if I didn't want to do it then I could just tell them.

It was rather hard because they did tell me that If I wanted to stop or if I didn't want to do it then I could just tell them. But if I did that, they would be so disappointed in me and then all of the attention and affection would stop.

'But if I did that, they would be so disappointed in me and then all of the attention and affection would stop,' she said.   

Because she was so young, she said it took her a while to learn that her parents' behavior was not normal. 

'I thought they had my best interest in mind. I didn't know that this wasn't something that all parents didn't do,' she said. 

Amanda asked  her mother: 'How could you do those things to me - to participate even?

'My innocence was stolen from me.'

Host Dr. Phil then asks Justine: 'In what parallel universe does a mother watch her daughter performing a sex act on her husband and her father?'

Her mother teared up as she admitted to making 'poor choices' and said she hated herself for what she did. 

But in a bizarre move, she spoke as if she was was trying to protect her. 

The abuse started when Amanda, left, was 11 years old and continued until she was 13  

Amanda, who said her life spiraled out of control after her nightmare childhood, said Jim is yet to apologize

'The first time that Jim had sex with Amanda, she said it hurt so I made him stop,' Justine said. 

Justine also says she feels like her daughter was 'groomed' by her husband. 

But Amanda says Justine was an equal partner in the abuse.

'Justine looked like she was enjoying it and she encouraged me to enjoy sex. If I wasn't enjoying it, the camera could tell,' she said.  

In an interview, Justine tries to place the blame on her husband - even though she admits filming some of the abuse and having had sex with Jim in front of their daughter. 

She said: 'Almost 20 years ago, my then-husband Jim approached me to teach our daughter about making love. 

'Jim found out how much money could be made from child porn. Jim would talk about how it would be better if she learned about sex from someone who truly loves her than from a stranger. 

'I fought for about three months and then finally did give in. We did have sex with our daughter,' Justine said.   

'If I could take it all back I would. I hate myself for what I did.'

She also played the victim, claiming that Jim was abusive to her.

'He would attach clothes pins to my private parts. One time I woke up and his hands were at about my head and neck. I believe he groomed Amanda and played us against each other because we were so close. I felt threatened when he said he would take Amanda away from me,' she said.  

Amanda, who said her life spiraled out of control after her nightmare childhood, said Jim is yet to truly apologize. 

'Part of me is still angry with the way that they apologized. It's very shocking. It's always been followed by a "but" - some kind of finger pointing. 

'I don't think I've ever received a real apology from Jim. After he got out of prison, Jim got in touch with me through Facebook. When I found that he was just as manipulative as I remembered, I chose to break off the relationship. 

'I want Justine to give me a sincere apology. She refuses to acknowledge that she had any significant part in this, but there are videos where you can clearly see she was definitely not unwilling. It takes every bit of effort in me not to wish harm on Justine.  

Justine and Jim were handed 20 year jail sentences in 1996 after pleading guilty to the sickening abuse. Justine served 15 years, while Jim served 16 years.
