A 44-year-old man of the Northern Division, who was charged with four counts of rape and one count of indecent assault, has been sentenced to 16 years imprisonment by the Labasa High Court.
The man committed the offence on his two nieces between 2012 and last year.
While sentencing him, High Court Judge Justice Daniel Goundar said that the victims trusted the man as he was their uncle and neighbour.
He will be eligible for parole after 12 years.
