Rapist attacked guest in bathroom of his home
Stage: Sentence
Finding: Convicted
Outcome: Convicted; Mr Justice Keane imposed an eight-year sentence, taking into account the mitigating factors. He said Hamad had an absolute entitlement to protest his innocence and pursue an appeal but it followed from that stance that there was no reality to promoting rehabilitation and no logical basis to suspend any portion of the sentence.
