Girl used as ‘puppet for sexual gratification’ by relative, Cork court told

Accused was jailed for two years

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin imposed a sentence of four years on the accused, with half of it suspended, at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.

A teenager who used a younger relative as “a puppet” for his sexual gratification was jailed for two years.

The victim said the accused could not have been in any doubt about the fact that she was nothing but a child when it started — she said she still had some of her milk teeth and her room was completely covered in pink Hello Kitty posters.
