Extra seven years given to man already in prison for sexual assault

A Waterford man currently serving 10 years for raping a girl has been jailed for a further eight years for sexually assaulting her seven-year-old sister.

Just before his trial was due to start, the 54-year-old man pleaded guilty to sexual assault on the girl on November 20, 2004. The State did not pursue 10 additional counts of sexual assault alleged to have occurred between November 12, 2002 and December 15, 2004.
