  • O'Brien appeals rape and sexual assault conviction in Dublin Rape and sexual assault · Co. Dublin

    Richard O'Brien, 64, was convicted by a jury in 2023 of 63 counts of rape, sexual assault and indecent assault against five victims, including his two sisters, his niece, and his two daughters. The abuse took place at the family home on O'Moore Road, Ballyfermot, Dublin, between 1975 and 2011. He was sentenced to life in prison in May 2023 for the rape offences against his daughters, with concurrent sentences totalling 11 years for the other offending. O'Brien is now appealing his conviction, arguing that the use of video-link evidence for the victims created a risk of unfairness. The judge reserved judgment on the appeal, to be delivered on Thursday.
