A Dublin group that helps victims of sex assault has seen an increase in calls to its phoneline in the wake of a gang rape case, it emerged yesterday.
It came a day after five thugs were jailed for a total of 66 years for the shocking rape and sexual assault of a teenage girl in the Midlands five years ago.
A spokesperson for the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre confirmed there had been an increase in calls, even though the sentencing was only on Thursday.
