Kerry teenager's 'life has turned to shit' since she was sexually assaulted by two boys

The two teenage boys, who claimed it was consensual, were convicted by a jury after a 12-day trial in Tralee in January

The teenage boys will be sentenced at 2pm on March 23 at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Dublin.

A Kerry teenager has taken over 1,000 tablets, had 156 hours of counselling and been hospitalised for 112 days since she was sexually abused by two teenagers in 2021.

“My decision to report the crimes committed against me came about because of a good friend intervening on a night I contemplated taking my own life,” she said in a victim impact statement read at the Central Criminal Court on Friday afternoon.
