Man who raped his former partner's daughter and sexually assaulted her older sister is jailed for nine years
Summary
A 44‑year‑old Dublin man was convicted at the Central Criminal Court of eight counts of rape and 18 counts of sexual assault. The offences were committed against the former partner's daughter and her older sister between 1992 and 1997 while the man was in a relationship with their mother. He first sexually assaulted the eldest sister in her bed when she was 12, then raped the younger sister eight times and sexually assaulted her 16 times from June 1993 to 1997 after moving into the family home. The assaults took place in the mother's bed, other downstairs rooms and the kitchen, sometimes with the brother asleep beside them. The victims learned of the abuse only in 2010, and a formal complaint was made in 2012. The man was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment. The article reports the trial, the victims' impact statements and the man's subsequent registration as a sex offender. No further legal outcomes are mentioned.
