50-yr-old man faces multiple sexual offence charges involving 11-yr-old stepdaughter
A 50-year-old man is charged with multiple counts of sexual offences of his 11-year-old stepdaughter between 2016 and 2020.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions says the man is charged with three counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault, one count of indecent assault and two counts of defilement. 

17 people were also charged with a total of 39 counts of sexual offences last month.

Of the 17 charged two were juveniles while there were six cases where the victims and the accused were related to one another.

In another case, a 40-year-old man is charged with the rape and sexual assault of his 9-year-old niece, while a 25-year-old man is charged with five counts of rape, one count of indecent assault and one count of criminal intimidation involving his 18-year-old niece.

A 20-year-old man is also charged with rape and indecent assault involving his 15-year-old cousin, while a 51-year-old man is charged with two counts of rape involving his 17-year-old cousin.

The ODPP says a 69-year-old man was charged with sexually assaulting his granddaughter in an alleged incident in 2019, when she was five years old.

The case was later discontinued due to insufficient evidence.

In another case, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old boy, together with two 19-year-old men, were charged with offences including rape, indecent assault and aiding and abetting rape.

The matter was discontinued following the unrelated death of the 22-year-old alleged victim.

Meanwhile, a 26-year-old national footballer was charged with four counts of rape and one count of assault causing actual bodily harm involving his 26-year-old girlfriend.

A 30-year-old man was charged with the rape of a 21-year-old woman, while a 41-year-old man was charged with the rape of a 42-year-old woman.

In another case, a 36-year-old man was charged with two counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, one count of sexual assault and one count of criminal intimidation involving a 10-year-old girl.

The ODPP says two cases were discontinued after Nolle Prosequi were filed, one due to insufficient evidence and the other following the death of an alleged victim.
