His brother, John MacKenzie, of Pondthorpe, Coventry, was found guilty of three counts of rape, six counts of indecency with a child and two counts of indecent assault.
Det Con Anna Blockley, the investigating officer, said: "Peter and John MacKenzie almost worked in partnership when carrying out their abuse, which has had a substantial impact on the victim.
