Clement Limen’s appeal against his rape convictions was heard in the Court of Appeal on 14 November 2019, with judgment reserved. The convictions concerned two women raped in his Sligo apartment on 2 June 2014.

Limen had been found guilty by a jury at the Central Criminal Court and sentenced to seven and a half years in prison. His barrister argued that prosecution closing submissions improperly introduced system evidence, while counsel for the Director of Public Prosecutions rejected that interpretation. The appeal court reserved its judgment.
