A man who raped two girls, aged 6 and 9, after luring them from a Birthday party to a flat in Athlone has been jailed for life.
The 30 year old man admitted raping the girls 5 times on September 28th last year.
An apology to the 2 young girls came but only after the 30 year old man was jailed for life as per his intructions to his barrister.
He admitted raping the girls aged 6 and 9 after luring them from outside a family birthday part to his nearby flat.
He asked them to come play with his 6 year old daughter who was a bit shy.
Passing sentence Mr Justice Paul Carney said it was 'too upsetting' to recite the facts heard in court earlier today.
He said for the past 20 years he's refrained from saying this is worst case ever because doing so has always prompted
a worse case to come along the following week.
The 30 year old man has a history of crime but mainly for minor offences and he'd been only out of jail 3 days when he carried out these appalling attacks.
