A woman who was sexually abused by her older brother when she was a child has said today is the start of the rest of her life after he was jailed for three years.
Cian Farrelly, 30, was a teenager when he began abusing his seven-year-old sister Aoife Farrelly when he was minding her in their family home in Castlepollard, Co Westmeath.
Aoife, who waived her anonymity so he can be named, said her brother had “literally and metaphorically” held her in a chokehold for so long but no longer would.
