3 years for man who abused babysitter

A sexual abuser with an overwhelming sense of entitlement who went through life with a “me, me, me” attitude was jailed for three years yesterday for sexually assaulting his much younger sister-in-law.

Detective Sergeant Vincent O’Sullivan said the sexual abuse was carried out when the accused was in his 20s and the victim was only 12 or 13.

It happened when he walked her to the bus stop after babysitting. He would stop on the way and bring her into a convent yard and sexually assault her against a wall by pulling down her underwear and putting his penis between her legs.
