Dublin man who anally raped nine-year-old girl jailed as victim's family tell of heartbreaking impact
The 67-year-old man, who can't be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court to one count of anal rape on a date in June 2021 when the victim was nine-years-old.
The local garda confirmed the man was asked to leave the house once the abuse came to light and has had no contact with the victim and her family since then. The local gardai agreed with defence counsel that the man grew up in Dublin, but later moved to the United Kingdom. She accepted the man had left the jurisdiction when the allegations came to light, but was in contact with gardai during this period and voluntarily returned.
When asked by Mr Justice Hunt, the woman said her daughter is only coming to realise what has happened. She said her daughter finds it hard to talk to her friends and “can't talk to anyone”. She said her family member had given the man a home when he had nowhere else to go
