Ireland Man (33) jailed for raping sister and sexually assaulting niece, Co Sligo
A 33-year-old man from Co Sligo raped his sister between June 10th and 12th, 2020, on an unknown date within that period, and sexually assaulted his 14-year-old niece on June 12th, 2020. He pleaded guilty to one count of rape and one count of sexual assault. Mr Justice Tony Hunt imposed sentence on Thursday, setting a 13-year headline sentence for rape and a concurrent five-year sentence for sexual assault, both to run consecutive to the sentence he is already serving for false imprisonment. The latest development is that sentence, which sources give as 9½ years for the rape count, or 8½ years with the final two suspended.
