Court reserves sentence judgement in Laois sex abuse case

The Court of Criminal Appeal (CCA) has further adjourned the sentence appeal brought by a Laois man convicted of 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, beginning when she was just seven years old.
