My father forced me to have sex with my mother, says young son

A father forced his young son to have sex with his mother before showing a video tape of it to others, it has been alleged.

The now 12-year-old child also told a Central Criminal Court jury that his father raped him and regularly sexually abused him with a hot poker in their Waterford home, as well as holding a gun to his head and threatening to kill him he if told anyone.

He said he believed he was raped about once a month for a three-and-a-half year period from when he was aged six years old.
