Victim’s mother, who was in relationship with accused, asked that he not be jailed
A man who sexually abused the intellectually disabled daughter of his former partner has been jailed for 13 years.
The trial heard evidence that the man was watching television with the child. He pulled her trousers down and raped her and told her repeatedly “I love you”. Mr Justice Alex Owens noted that the accused maintains his innocence and has given no indication of remorse. He said the offending fell into the most serious category. He noted the vulnerability of the victim, the gross abuse of trust and the fact the sexual abuse has long lasting detrimental effects on victims.
Mr Justice Owens imposed a sentence of 13 years imprisonment and ordered post release supervision of six years on strict conditions which includes offence focused work, psychological counseling and keeping away from activities with or caring for people aged under 18.
