Dad dubbed Scotland's Josef Fritzl keeps daughter prisoner while making her pregnant six times

Exclusive Scots Sex Slave Victim Breaks Silence After Dungeon Horror He First Raped Me When I Was Just 11 He Threatened To Chop Me Into Bits He Wanted Babies To Claim Benefit
TO her neighbours, Anne Marie Wilson was a normal, happy child in a normal, happy family.
But behind closed doors she suffered 16 years of terror at the hands of her evil father who raped her from the age of 11.
John McMillan, 62, made Anne Marie pregnant six times in a calculated attempt to claim extra benefit cash.
His vile campaign of abuse has chilling echoes of Austrian monster Josef Fritzl, who kept his daughter Elisabeth as a sex slave in an underground dungeon for 24 years, forcing her to give birth to seven of his children.
Brave Anne Marie, 38, waived her right to anonymity to reveal the unimaginable terror she experienced at the hands of her father. She told the Sunday Mail how:
Evil McMillan first made her pregnant when she was only 15.
She endured four miscarriages and one tot was stillborn while baby girl Jennifer died aged eight months.
McMillan said he wanted to have kids with her to claim additional benefits.
Like Fritzl's wife Rosemarie, she believes her mum, also named Jennifer, was unaware of the abuse.
Anne Marie said: "I have lived in fear of him all my life and probably always will until he dies.
"Like the neighbours of Fritzl, no one suspected anything untoward was going on at any of the homes where we lived."
McMillan is serving three years in Edinburgh's Saughton prison after admitting sex with Anne Marie and fathering baby Jennifer.
He was convicted thanks to a DNA sample from the baby's post mortem.
The abuse began in 1981 when the family moved from Glasgow to Bradford and continued when they moved back to Scotland.
Anne Marie first fell pregnant at 15 then in 1988 son Benjamin was stillborn in Bradford when she was 18.
She gave birth to Jennifer when she was 25 but the infant died from a brain condition in Glasgow in 1997.
McMillan - who has five sons and two other daughters - kept Anne Marie a virtual prisoner, forcing her to watch hardcore pornography before abusing her. He enslaved her mother Jennifer, leaving Anne Marie to look after her younger brothers and sisters.
Anne Marie eventually broke free after Jennifer's death and contacted the SundayMail after reading of Fritzl's evil crimes.
Anne Marie believes incest is more common than people think.
She said: "On the outside we were a normal family and my father had many friends and a good social life. No one suspected anything.
"I don't know if my mother ever suspected what was going on or was too terrified to do anything. I could never pluck up the courage to tell her. She was probably terrified too as he regularly beat her.
"He kept weapons in the house - axes and replica guns. He told me that if I ever went to the police he would kill me and my mother and cut us up into bits.
"He would abuseme when my mother was out visiting friends or at the shops. If I didn't give in to his demands he would threaten to hurt me or my mother.
"He wanted sex all the time, sometimes he used protection but other times he would not bother.
"After Benjamin was born in 1988 social workers asked me if my dad was the father and suggested a DNA test but I denied it because I was so frightened of him.
"He was a control freak who would never let me out of his sight. I wasn't allowed any friends back to the house and did not have a normal childhood.
"I was often kept out of school and had to spend my time looking after younger brothers and sisters.
"My father seldom worked and lived off the benefits he could claim for eight children.
"He never let any strangers in the house in case they suspected what was happening.
"As soon as I was 16 he made me sign on for benefits then took the money off me. I never had a job."
One day in 1997 - shortly after baby Jennifer died - McMillan sent Anne Marie to collect his benefits and she did not return.
She took a train from Glasgow to Edinburgh and went to live with her brother.
Eventually she managed to pluck up the courage to go to the police in Clydebank, where she had settled.
McMillan pleaded guilty to having sex with his daughter in October 1995 at their home in Parkhead, Glasgow, Jennifer was born nine months later.
Last September he was given three years and nine months in prison. He was placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.
A police source said: "The investigating team were able to trace some tiny samples which had been kept from the original post mortem carried out on Jennifer at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow.
"They were then submitted for DNA testing and a sample was obtained from McMillan. The tests proved he was the father.
"The results were so conclusive he was left with no option but to plead guilty. This was an exhaustive inquiry and no stone was left unturned to get Anne Marie justice."
Anne Marie's mother died of organ failure, aged 62, on Christmas Day, 2006, while McMillan was awaiting trial on remand.
He was locked up after he failed to turn up for trial hearings.
McMillan had changed his name to John Thompson, his wife's maiden name, to avoid justice and even signed his wife's death certificate using the fake name.
He tried to ban Anne Marie from the funeral but she defied him and paid her last respects.
Anne Marie said: "I don't know what my mother's reaction was whenmy father was charged with abusing me because he would not allow her to see me.
"She spent most of her time running after my dad - that is why I had to look after my younger brothers and sisters."
Since she left home Anne Marie married and had two children but the marriage broke down and they are divorcing.
She now has a new partner in her life and they have a young son together.
'He kept an axe in the house and told me if I went to the police he would kill me and my mum.. he was a real control freak'
