CCA quashes conviction of man jailed for raping ex's sisters

The Court of Criminal Appeal has quashed a Cork man's conviction for the rape of his former girlfriend's two teenage sisters.

Today the CCA said it was satisfied due to the non disclosure of new evidence there was a real risk that the fairness of the man's trial could have been effected. The court also said that any retrial was a matter for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
