Five-year term for man who repeatedly raped sister

A Wexford man who raped and sexually assaulted his sister over a five-year period in his early teens has been jailed for five years by Mr Justice Paul Carney at the Central Criminal Court.

The 23-year-old man, who twice tried to commit suicide and began drinking heavily when he realised the wrong he was doing, said he started sexually abusing his sister after finding his mother having sexual intercourse in their house with a family friend.
