Aswad Ayinde, 55, was found guilty of the charges against the second daughter, whom he impregnated four times, in March. The jury found that he had engaged in sexual intercourse with her when she was between the ages of 8 and 22.

At Ayinde’s 2010 trial, his former wife said he was trying to create “pure” family bloodlines by impregnating several of his teenager daughters.

Arrested in 2006, Ayinde has been accused of raping five of his daughters, three of whom are believed to have given birth to a total of six children.

Authorities say the assaults began in the mid-1980s and lasted until 2002, when the parents separated, and occurred at residences in Paterson, East Orange, Orange and Eatontown. The time period overlaps with the family’s coming to the attention of the state’s child welfare agency.

According to court records and published reports, Ayinde was arrested in 2000 and charged with kidnapping for allegedly trying to take three of his children from state custody at a Monmouth County medical center. He posted bail and later pleaded guilty to assault and child endangerment and was sentenced to a year’s probation.

Prosecutors in Passaic County say one of the daughters, then in her early teens, was raped as late as January 2002.

Ayinde’s wife and one of his daughters testified in the earlier trial that New Jersey’s Division of Youth and Family Services had removed at least one of the children from the family’s home, and that the family had temporarily moved, first to Jersey City and then to Florida, to avoid the agency’s investigation.
