A man has been sentenced to nine years in prison for sexually abusing his two young cousins while he was babysitting them. The court heard that the abuse happened over several years when the children were between six and 13 years old. The offender, 55-year-old Edward McGregor of Baltinglass, Co Wicklow, pleaded guilty to 15 offences last year. The court was told he groomed the two girls and carried out repeated sexual assaults between 1986 and 1993.
