Man 'got on great' with sister who accuses him of rape, court hears

A garda has revealed that a Galway man denied all of his sister’s sex abuse allegations and could not say why she would accuse him of rape.

Garda Claire O’Flagherty said the man denied in interview in 2006 that he had penetrated his younger sister’s vagina with a foreign object in 1971, that he had placed his penis near her private parts regularly after that date or raped her in his car some years later.
