Relative's abuse made me a very sad teenager, says woman whose sister was also raped

A Carlow man who claimed his grandniece asked him to pay her for sex will be sentenced next month for regularly raping both her and another niece.

The 78-year-old man pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court to three sample charges of rape of his grandniece on dates between October 2003 and June 2009 in County Carlow and to seven sample charges of rape of the second victim on dates between January 1983 and March 1989.
