Rapist who abducted victim's child has 15-year sentence increased to 19 years
Stage: Appeal
Finding: Found guilty
Outcome: Found guilty; Michael Murray (46), formerly of Killiney Oaks, Killiney, in Dublin, was jailed for 15 years for rape, attempted rape, oral rape and aggravated sexual assault, child abduction, threats to kill or cause serious harm, false imprisonment and theft at a Dublin apartment on February 12th and 13th, 2010. He said limited recognition was given to the fact Murray was being sentenced a second time and the Court substituted a 19 year prison sentence for the original 15 year term – rather than a 20 or 21 year sentence the court would have imposed had it been sentencing Murray at first instance.
