Family charged over girl's rape | |
(about 8 hours later) | |
Two men from east Belfast have been remanded in custody charged with raping a nine-year-old girl. | |
One of the men, who are both 30, is the girl's uncle. The other man is understood to be a family friend. | |
The child's mother, 44, and grandmother, 63, also appeared before Belfast Magistrates Court charged with child cruelty. | |
The two men and the child's mother were remanded in custody, while the grandmother was released on bail. | |
She was ordered to stay out of east Belfast, where the family are from, and told to stay away from her granddaughter and her co-accused. | |
The girl's uncle is also charged with indecent assault, gross indecent assault and making indecent images of children. | |
The offences against the girl are alleged to have taken place between December 2002 and June 2006. | |
The court heard that the case against the accused was based on entries found in the child's diary. She has since been taken into care. |
