20-year sentence for 'ultra violent' rape of escorts is upheld
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Not guilty
Finding: Convicted
Outcome: Convicted; Goidan, who had pleaded guilty pleas to counts of robbing the two women, later launched appeals against both his conviction and sentence. He said the sentence imposed was "entirely correct" when the "level of violence and humiliation both women experienced" was considered.
