Father 'admitted to abusing daughter years ago', court hears

The family of a woman who claims she was repeatedly indecently assaulted as a child by her father in a car in Co. Kildare have claimed that the man admitted the abuse in the course of a heated argument about 16 years ago.

The 62-year-old Carlow resident, who can not be named for legal reasons, has pleaded not guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to four counts of indecent assault against his daughter in Co. Kildare on dates between November 1981 and March 1984.
