Man gets 14 years for raping son

A 52-year-old man who systematically sexually abused his young son for three years has been given a 14-year sentence by Mr Justice Barry White at the Central Criminal Court.

The now 20-year-old victim said he feels he now has a stigma attached to him and described in his victim impact statement how he never had a childhood. He said he had lived in fear and described how he lay awake waiting for his father to come and abuse him.
