Brothers Convicted for 90s Abuse | Belfast News

Two brothers, John and Martin Owens, have been sentenced for horrific sexual assaults on teenage girls in the mid-90s — a chilling tale of grooming, betrayal, and trauma. John, 72, got eight years for nine counts against three girls; Martin, 66, received five years and six months, with half suspended, for assaulting two girls — including one of his own sister. The abuse happened while the teens were babysitting the brothers’ kids, with John exploiting alone time and offering gifts and booze, and Martin posing as a trustworthy employer before sexually assaulting one girl. Victims, aged 14 to 17, now speak out about the deep, lasting scars — one describing Martin as a “hardworking businessman” mask over a predator who left her with lifelong shame.
