Foster father seeks to have rape conviction overturned
Stage: Appeal
Finding: Found guilty
Outcome: Found guilty; Moloney was subsequently sentenced to 12 years in jail for the offences at a sitting of the Central Criminal Court last November. Separately, Moloney's lawyers also appealed the severity of the 12-year sentence imposed on their client, claiming the headline sentence of 14 years set by the judge was excessive.
