A 54-year-old Dublin man has pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court to raping and indecently assaulting his wife's niece over 20 years ago. He pleaded guilty to two charges of rape and two of indecent assault in 1976 and 1978.
His plea came on the second day of his trial after the victim, now 31, had given evidence. He cannot be named for legal reasons. Mrs Justice McGuinness remanded him on continuing bail for sentence on February 1st.
