Man told girls he would cut their parents’ throats before raping them

Judge finds it ‘too upsetting’ to recite facts of case as he jailed 30-year-old for raping girls, 9 and 6

A man who lured two young girls away from a children’s birthday party and told them he would cut their parent’s throats before repeatedly raping them has been jailed for life.

The Galway man, aged 30, lured the 6 and 9-year-old girls from a park where they were playing and repeatedly forced them both to have oral and anal sex with him.
