10.5 years for man who verbally abused ex during violent rapes

Summary

A 45‑year‑old Dublin man was sentenced to ten and a half years in prison for six counts of rape and anal rape of his former partner between January 2019 and September 2020. The victim, who was not named to protect her anonymity, was repeatedly forced into sexual acts at her home while she repeatedly said no and asked him to stop. The court noted that the man used humiliating and degrading language, pulled her hair, pushed her onto a bathroom floor and a bed, and that the violence exceeded the inherent violence of rape. He was found guilty by a Central Criminal Court jury and does not accept the verdict or express remorse. Ms Justice Caroline Biggs imposed the sentence and ordered him to remain under Probation Service supervision for three years after release.
