Rape victim hits out at George Hook’s comments

A woman raped by her boyfriend in her sleep has hit out at broadcaster George Hook for his “crass, outdated and insulting” comments while discussing her case on radio.

Niamh Nic Dhomhnaill, a 28-year-old former teacher, was assaulted by former boyfriend, 25-year-old Magnus Meyer Hustveit, previously of Leo Street, North Circular Road, Dublin.

At the Central Criminal Court, the Norwegian pleaded guilty to one count of rape and one count of sexual assault, between 2011 and 2012, and was given a seven-year suspended sentence.
