Sex offender says he ‘doesn’t remember’ raping sister

A Galway man who “doesn’t remember” raping his sister is to be sentenced next week at the Central Criminal Court.

The 41-year-old man, who can not be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to raping his younger sibling in a Galway town on a date in February 2011.

The man told gardaí he could not remember committing the offence as he had been very drunk at the time and taken “a load of D10s” or Valium tablets.
