A 49-year-old man has been found guilty by a jury at the Central Criminal Court on two charges of sexually assaulting his then seven-year-old daughter. The jury failed to agree on three other charges of rape, incest and unlawful carnal knowledge. These have been adjourned to a later date.
The man from the south-east had pleaded not guilty to committing the offences on dates unknown between January 1st, 1994, and December 5th, 1995. Mr Justice Carney remanded him on continuing bail for sentence on the sexual assault convictions on December 3rd.
