A 47-year-old man who sexually abused and later raped his younger sister when he was aged between 12 and 16 was jailed for two-and-a-half years on Wednesday.
As Emmett Baylor was jailed, his sister Niamh Herbert encouraged people who were victims of such crimes to talk to the gardaí or, if they did not want to pursue the matter legally, to talk to a doctor or a counsellor or their local Rape Crisis Centre.
