A Dublin man is to be sentenced in the Central Criminal Court next month for sexual abuse of his two daughters which started when they were aged eight and nine. The 38-year-old man, who originally faced 50 charges, pleaded guilty yesterday to three charges of sexually assaulting one of his daughters, now aged 14, between August 15th and November 15th, 1992. He also admitted sexually assaulting his second daughter, now aged 11, four times from September to November 1995.
