Jail for rape and abuse of brother: 'He became my biggest villain'- victim

A man has been jailed for eight years for the repeated sexual abuse and rape of his younger brother. Over a decade, John Murphy abused his brother, who was aged between 10 and 20. The abuse took place in the family home in a town in Cork between 1988 and 1997.

The Central Criminal Court heard that the victim, now in his 40s, wished to waive his anonymity so that his abuser could be identified. Murphy, aged 45, formerly of Waterfall, Co Cork, pleaded guilty last April to 12 sample counts, including three of oral rape.
