Niamh Nic Dhomhnaill was sexually assaulted by Norwegian national Magnuse Meyer Hustveit when they were a couple.

The court heard that the 25 year old had emailed his victim admitting he had sex with her on a regular basis while she slept.

He pleaded guilty and was yesterday handed a 7 year suspended jail term.

Niamh Nic Dhomhnaill says the sentence sends a clear message that rape isn't taken seriously enough.

And she says it's difficult for victims not to feel shame.
