Man jailed for raping former partner
Summary
A 35‑year‑old man was sentenced to eight years in prison for raping and attempting an anal rape of his former partner at their Dublin home. He pleaded guilty to the 2010 rape and 2011 attempted rape. The victim, whose identity is protected, reported panic attacks, flashbacks and nightmares, and said she could not trust people or have a sexual relationship since the offences. The judge noted the victim's vulnerability and past abusive relationships, and that the man committed the crimes under the influence of alcohol and drugs. He was given an eight‑year sentence with the final 18 months suspended, conditional on probation, a sex‑offender treatment programme, addressing alcohol and addiction issues, and a three‑year post‑release supervision. The man was also ordered to stay away from the victim. The case was prosecuted by Sean Gillane SC.
