Man jailed for raping daughter (6)
Summary
A 30‑year‑old Dublin man was jailed for six and a half years after pleading guilty to one count of oral rape of his six‑year‑old daughter between February 2019 and February 2020. He also pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of child sex abuse material on his home on 7 December 2019. The Central Criminal Court, presided over by Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring, described the offence as a "fundamental breach of trust" and noted that the victim's bodily integrity and safety were violated.
