A 22-year-old man has been jailed for eight years after pleading guilty to raping his aunt.
The man, who is from Co Antrim, was also ordered to sign the sex offenders' register for the rest of his life.
The court heard the man also stole £1,250 from his aunt.
A defence lawyer said the man wished to apologise unreservedly for what he did, and said his client had been taking drugs including heroin and crack cocaine since he was nine years old.
