A Laois thug who sexually abused his young daughter for four years has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
According to RTE, Patrick Shiels, 66, sexually abused and raped his daughter, Marlene Prakash-Shiels, ages four to eight, during home visits between September 2000 and December 2004.
The Central Criminal Court had previously heard that Ms. Prakash-Shiels wanted to waive her right to anonymity so that the thug could be named publicly.
Shiels was sentenced between September 2000 and December 2004 at his then home in Togher, Portlaoise, Co. Laois, following a retrial earlier that year, of oral rape and four counts of sexual assault on separate occasions.
He was also convicted of two counts of child abuse for forcing the victim to drink alcohol and view pornography.
