The 11-year sentence of a healthcare assistant after raping a pensioner at a nursing home is justified due to the breach in trust, according to the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.

The 52-year-old man was sentenced yesterday for the incident which happened during lockdown in the early hours of April 3, 2020.
