Convicted sex attacker gets 10-year sentence for raping former partner
Summary
A 30‑year‑old Cork man was sentenced to ten years in prison for raping his former partner, a sentence to be served consecutively to a term he is already serving for a separate rape. The Central Criminal Court jury found him guilty of one count of oral rape and assault causing harm after he raped the woman at their home on 8 September 2013. He had pleaded guilty to the offences. The victim, who could not be named, gave a lengthy impact statement describing the fear she lived in for three years after the rape and the ways the man tried to regain control over her while she was under a barring order. She recounted how he moved close to her, called Gardaí falsely, and made her feel trapped. The court noted the profound effect of the offences on her life.
