A 73-year-old father raped his daughter in the toilets of a McDonald’s restaurant after threatening to kill her mother and brother if she told anyone, it has been alleged at the Central Criminal Court.
The accused, with an address in Dublin, has pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting a son from the age of three to six, and sexually assaulting and raping two daughters between the ages of four and 11.
The offences are alleged to have occurred across the country between 1995 and 2002. The trial continues before Mr Justice George Birmingham and a jury.
