Defence claims client did not get fair trial 'in this time of great vindication' for sexual abuse victims

A Dublin man who sexually abused his eight-year-old nephew within a “deeply dysfunctional” household, when he himself was a teenager, has moved to appeal his conviction.

The Central Criminal Court heard that the accused man, who was 16-years-old when the abuse began, was also having a “deeply inappropriate” sexual relationship with one of the adults in the house.
