A teenage boy who was raped by his cousins in the 1990s told one of them to stop but “both boys laughed at him because he said to stop”. 

That was the evidence of a detective garda, as two farming brothers were remanded in custody on Monday for raping and sexually assaulting another younger boy who is their cousin when they were all teenagers.
