A 17-year-old boy has been given a five-year probation supervision order for the oral rape of his three-and-a-half year old cousin at his Co Clare home almost two years ago.

The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court to oral rape at his home on June 10, 2009. The teenager was 15 years old at the time and has no previous convictions.
