Mr Justice Paul McDermott noted in the Central Criminal Court that the convicted man (51) has not acknowledged any wrongdoing. He was found guilty following a trial last July of five sample counts comprising rape and oral rape on dates between 2012 and 2020. The court heard the girl’s mother and father split up when she and her younger sister were small. Their mother wanted the girls to have a relationship with their father and they visited him at weekends, the court heard. The girl confided in a friend about the abuse and she eventually told her mother what her father was doing to her.
