'He stole my whole youth' – Brave rape survivor's message as evil father jailed after 13-year sex abuse hell | KMW003E | 2024-05-01 00:08:01
A BRAVE rape survivor has told how her evil dad waged a 13-year sexual abuse campaign against her as a child and declared: "He stole my whole youth."
Twisted Patrick Honan, 69, was today caged for 11-and-a-half years for repeatedly raping and sexually abusing his daughter, Noreen, from the age of three to the age of 16.
The predator carried out the horror sex attacks at the family home in Doonbeg, Co Clare, between 1977 and 1989.
Traumatised daughter Noreen waived her right to anonymity to allow the beast to be named.
In a statement after the brute was banged up, courageous Noreen urged other victims of sexual abuse to speak out.
She said: "My father is Patrick Honan raped and sexually abused me from the age of three to 16 in our family home.
"He stole my whole youth.
"I have suffered mentally and physically all my life because of the abuse.
"It was only in 2017 that I became strong enough to face what he did to me head on.
"I built up the courage to take the first step, and I would like to encourage all victims of sexual violence to take the first step and come forward."
Monster dad Patrick, from Lakeview, Doonbeg, Kilrush in Co Clare, was sentenced today at the Central Criminal Court after being convicted by a jury of 48 sample counts, 25 counts of rape and 23 of indecent assault.
Ms Justice Siobhan Lankford handed the fiend a 13-year custodial sentence, with the final 18 months suspended.
A court heard the abuse started when Noreen was around three-and-a-half years of age and only stopped when she was 16.
The trial heard the dad often carried out the sexual attacks when wife was out.
Worst period of her life
Judge Lankford noted how Honan would make it clear he wanted something sexual in return if his daughter asked for money for youth clubs or other childhood activities.
Ms Honan said the worst period of her life was during her mother's last pregnancy when her mam spent 53 days in hospital and her father had uninterrupted access to her.
The last incident of rape occurred just after she finished her Junior Certificate exam in 1989.
Ms Honan said she told her mother that her father had been abusing for years.
When he was first confronted, the fiend admitted some incidents.
But Nonan later denied this happened and when he was interviewed by cops, the remorseless thug denied all the allegations.
