A Wexford man who “coldly engaged in a campaign of rape” against his stepdaughter from when she was a child has been jailed for 17 years.
Alec Goucher (70) was found guilty by a Central Criminal Court jury of 25 counts relating to the sexual abuse of his stepdaughter Elizabeth Usher between 2000 and 2007, including sexual assault, rape and section 4 rape with an implement. She was aged around 11 years’ old when the abuse started.
