Rapist fails in bid to have his conviction declared perverse
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Not guilty
Finding: Found guilty
Outcome: Found guilty; He was found guilty by a jury on all counts at a Cork sitting of the Central Criminal Court and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment by Mr Justice Paul Carney on June 8, 2012. Arundel had also appealed his sentence on grounds that the judge failed to take account of his mitigating circumstances – his age, drug addiction and the "multiplicity of problems that he had".
