Man Accused of Assaulting Stepdaughter

A Waterford trial unfolds as a man accused of three sexual assaults on his partner’s daughter in 2022 faces the court — gardaí notified in April 2023.

The accused denies everything — and the trial continues tomorrow. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
