A man has been jailed for eight and a half years for the repeated sexual assault of a four year old child his partner was babysitting.

The case saw one of the youngest complainants ever giving evidence and being cross-examined during a nine day trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. The 59-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, denied the charges.
