ODPP reports disturbing cases of sexual offences within families

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has reported two serious sexual offence cases in October 2025 involving fathers and their daughters.

In the first case, a 45-year-old man was charged with rape, indecent assault, and sexual assault of his 5-year-old daughter.

In another incident, a 48-year-old man faced charges of incest and sexual assault involving his 18-year-old daughter.

Other cases included a 74-year-old man charged with sexual assault and indecent assault of his 5-year-old granddaughter.

A 61-year-old man was charged with rape and sexual assault of his 10-year-old niece, while a 39-year-old man faced charges for rape and indecent assault of his 9-year-old niece.

The ODPP said a 27-year-old man was charged with rape of his 27-year-old sister-in-law.

Another case involved a 31-year-old man charged with rape of his 15-year-old sister-in-law, but this matter was later discontinued after the victim admitted to making a false complaint.
