Man jailed for six and a half years for raping teenage cousin in Wexford
Rape · Wexford
Victim: woman, 16Suspect: man, 24A man, aged 20 at the time of the offence and 24 at sentencing, who cannot be named to protect the victim's anonymity, was sentenced at the Central Criminal Court in October 2026 to six and a half years in prison after pleading guilty to raping his 16-year-old second cousin at her home in Wexford between 8 and 10 June 2023. The man, who had just been released from a prison sentence for assault causing harm and had previous convictions including two for sexual assault, had been allowed to stay with the victim's family by her father after his own family refused to take him in. He entered the girl's bedroom, blocked her, put his hand over her mouth, and raped her, telling her he would kill her if she told anyone. The girl confided in a friend before telling her parents following an episode of self-harm, and Gardaí were notified immediately. Mr Justice Tony Hunt set a headline sentence of 10 years, reduced to seven, with the final six months suspended, and ordered three years' post-release supervision and a no-contact order.
