Man convicted of molesting daughters gets 14 years

A Colorado City, Ariz., man convicted of molesting his three young daughters was given a 14-year prison sentence Friday.

Henry Cooke, 40, pleaded guilty to child molestation and multiple counts of attempted child molestation.

Court records reveal that the girls' mother contacted authorities in May when her 11-year-old daughter indicated she had been touched by Cooke in an improper manner. Documents indicate that the woman's 13 and 14-year-old daughters described similar physical contact with their father.

Cooke will serve lifetime probation after he's released.
