A man who incessantly described himself as a devout Catholic who could never hurt children, was yesterday handed a life sentence for raping and sodomising an eight-year- old girl, whom he began abusing at the age of six.
Michael Abrams, was unanimously convicted on the two counts levelled against him, for rape of a child under the age of 16.
He first sexually penetrated the now ten year old girl, sometime between January 1, 2013 and January 19, 2016.
