Father jailed for Christmas sex assault

A Christmas Day sex assault by a 51-year-old on his own 19-year-old daughter at the family home in Co Cork saw him sentenced to two years in prison yesterday.

The young woman said in her victim impact statement in relation to the sexual assault when her father came into her bedroom at 3am on December 25, 2017: “If you can’t trust your dad, who can you trust?”. She said she would not have gotten through it without the amazing support of her family.
