text: The daughter of a paedophile jailed for sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl said her father should be hanged for his crimes. Becky Handley, 20, discovered her father, Raymond Handley's grisly crimes against a child in a local newspaper article. He was jailed for 13-and-a-half years at Birmingham Crown Court after details of the repeated assaults emerged. Now his daughter, who was kept from seeing him as a child, has disowned him and vowed to change her name via deed poll. Becky Handley said her father Raymond Handley should be 'hanged' for sexually assaulting a girl, eight. Miss Handley, a restaurant worker, learned of his crimes after reading about them online . So disgusted with his crimes, Miss Handley said her father deserves the death penalty rather than a prison term. 'I want the death penalty brought back for people like my father. I think he should be hanged for what he has done.' Speaking of the victim, who Miss Handley says she does not know, she added: 'I really feel bad for this young girl and I really hope that she gets through it. 'He has stolen a little girl's innocence and I hope he rots in prison and dies there for what he has done.' Birmingham Crown Court heard how Handley, 62, sexually assaulted his young victim twice before threatening to kill her mother if details of the abuse emerged. Miss Handley now wants to change her name via deed poll . It took the child years to report the incidents to police for fear of him. She is understood to have suffered severe psychological since. Miss Handley was not aware of her father's crimes until her sister showed her a local newspaper article which detailed the case. 'I just saw the name in the headline and I immediately thought "Oh God, he's dead!". 'But when I read the headline properly, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing,' added the restaurant worker. 'I felt deeply ashamed to have the Handley name. I want my father to die behind bars.' Miss Handley did not see her father as a child and was discouraged from contacting him by her mother as an adult. She has lived with her mother, Dawn Williams, and stepfather since she was nine. Speaking of her former husband, Ms Williams, 52, said: 'I always had a gut feeling about him. I found out that he was breaking into schools and houses and I kicked him out.' The pair divorced before Becky's first birthday. 'He is a horrible man. He's a real rotten apple and I wish I'd known more about him before I started a relationship with him. 'What he has done is disgusting. I can't even think about what he has done to that poor girl.' Jailing Handley earlier this month, Judge Roderick Henderson, cited the paedophile's threats against his victim's family. 'She was extremely young and can be described as suffering severe psychological harm from what you had done.' Handley denied his crimes, his lawyer saying that of his 90 previous convictions none had been of a sexual nature. Handley was jailed at Birmingham Crown Court (above) where a judge told of the 'severe psychological damage' the attacks inflicted on his victim .
