A Cork man who denied raping, sexually assaulting, and physically assaulting his younger sister has been found guilty by a jury on all three charges.

The 33-year-old complainant testified he raped her on one occasion when she was a child. On a later occasion, when she was 16, he slapped her across the face for bringing her friends into the house drinking, and that after that, she fell asleep on a sofa and woke to find him pulling her pants down.
