Man who began raping 4-year-old sister when he was 12 is jailed for one year
A man who as a 12-year-old consistently raped his sister has been jailed for a year because the law at the time states that a child under 14 years old cannot be guilty of rape.
Michael Hughes (now 57) of Cluain Beag, Nobber, Co Meath had pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court last December to four counts of rape and four counts of indecent assault on dates between December 1971 and October 1973 at the family home they shared in Dublin.
