Man faces jail for raping partner’s daughter, 11

A Dublin man will be sentenced next month for the repeated rape of his partner’s then 11-year-old daughter in her Galway home.

Henry Crowe, aged 57, of Blackditch Rd, Ballyfermot, pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court to five sample charges of raping Majella Cahill on dates between November 23, 1988 and December 31, 1992. She was aged between 11 and 15 years old at the time.

Ms Cahill indicated in her victim impact report that she wished to waive her right to anonymity so that Crowe could be named.
