‘We stand together to bring this man to justice’

A girl who was sexually abused by her own father said yesterday that the only lesson she learned from him was that there are monsters who live among us.

The man pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting his two daughters, one from the age of 10-13 and the other from the age of seven to nine.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin imposed a total sentence of five years on the man yesterday at Cork Circuit Criminal Court. The only reason his name is not published is it would identify the victims.
