Court reserves judgement in case of man accused of raping daughter
The Court of Criminal Appeal has today reserved judgement in the case of a Laois man appealing against his life sentence for the repeated rape and sexual assault of his daughter over a 10-year period.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was sentenced to life imprisonment by Mr Justice Paul Carney in March 2006, having pleaded guilty to 32 charges of rape and sexual assault against his daughter, which began when she was just seven years old.
