Convicted double rapist remanded in custody pending new sentence
Summary
Paul Moore, 51, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to sexually assaulting a woman on the southside DART on August 28, 2014. Judge Melanie Greally indicated she would impose a three-year sentence, with the final 18 months suspended, but remanded Moore in custody until March 30th to finalize post-release conditions. The judge sought to determine if a special request could be made for urine analysis as part of Probation Service supervision. Evidence from Moore's case manager and probation officer confirmed he had been compliant with supervision terms following his release in April 2016. They advised he should remain sober in public and suggested a night-time curfew. Moore, of Mountjoy Square, Dublin, has a history of six prior jailings for sexual offences over 25 years, including a 15-month sentence in 2015 for assaulting two women. Judge Greally expressed concern over Moore's inability to desist from offending and stated any sentence must maximize the ability of services to supervise him. The matter was adjourned to allow the court to fine-tune the conditions of the partly suspended sentence.
