Rape crisis groups urge people to get help if needed

RAPE crisis groups have called on people upset by the release of Larry Murphy to get help if they need it.

The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre said it had experienced a rise in the number of calls from victims of sexual violence in recent days.

DRCC chief executive Ellen O’Malley Dunlop said some victims of sexual violence may have “memories triggered” by the coverage surrounding the release of Murphy from prison.
