Wexford man, already in jail for abusing sons and daughters, gets life for raping step-granddaughter

A 73-year-old Wexford man has been jailed for life for raping his nine-year-old step-granddaughter after she helped him recover from a stroke.

The girl was the fifth victim of the accused. He is already serving a 13-year prison term for abusing his two daughters when they were children in the seventies and eighties and a separate term for the similar abuse of his two sons.
