Ireland Hamed Azeez jailed for 11 years for rape and sexual assault of partner's daughters, Dublin
Hamed Azeez (53), of Tallaght, Dublin, was convicted after a Central Criminal Court trial in March of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault against a girl then aged six to eight, and two counts of sexual assault against her sister, then aged eight to 10. The offences occurred between 2013 and 2015 at locations in Co Dublin, while the girls were in his care, and the judge said he was in a position of trust because he had been in a long-term relationship with their mother. Azeez denied wrongdoing when interviewed by gardaí. On 22 July 2024 Ms Justice Eileen Creedon jailed him for 11 years, with concurrent terms, after setting headline sentences of 12 years for rape and eight years for sexual assault, and ordered him to be registered as a sex offender. He does not accept the verdict and insists the allegations are false.
