The court heard that Tucker had moved back to Ireland from the UK in the 1970s and had moved into his parents-in-laws’ house. Fíona Crawford BL, prosecuting, told the court that Tucker lost no opportunity to advance on Ryan Wright when she was alone and would grope her breasts and genital areas.A victim impact statement was read to the court by Crawford on behalf of Ryan Wright, which said, “My world became dark and scary, and I was unable to tell anyone.” “At 14 years of age, I tried to kill myself, and when that did not work, I began to self-harm,” she wrote.
She gave her sincere thanks to her family, the Victim Impact Services, the prosecuting team, in particular Sergeant Georgina Reilly. Justice Paul McDermott outlined the seriousness of the offences carried out on Ryan Wright while she was aged 11 to 17. He said Ryan Wright was left in fear in her own home and that the accused showed a high level of disrespect for her.
