A man who sexually abused his eight-year-old cousin while he was a teenager over a decade ago has been jailed for four years.

The 28-year-old pleaded guilty to five counts of oral rape at an address in Sligo during the summer of 2012, when he was 15. He has no previous convictions and cannot be named to protect the victim’s right to anonymity.
