LISTEN: Victim says media needs review of how it discusses rape

A woman who waived her anonymity to name her rapist has said the recent controversy surrounding George Hook’s comments on rape has highlighted a need for the media to review how it discusses the topic.

Niamh Ní Dhomhnaill also revealed that she unsuccessfully attempted to meet Mr Hook after he was widely criticised over his comments on her case in 2015.

In July 2015, Magnus Meyer Hustveit, previously of Leo St, North Circular Rd, Dublin pleaded guilty to one count of rape and one count of sexual assault, between 2011 and 2012.
