Sentencing of man who raped Down Syndrome woman adjourned
Summary
The sentencing of Faisal Ellahi, 34, who was convicted of raping a young woman with Down syndrome in Dublin, was adjourned to the following day. The court had to delay because a psychological report proving Ellahi's very low IQ was not ready. Ellahi had pleaded not guilty to rape, sexual assault and having sex with a mentally impaired person at his home on 12 June 2013. The jury had found him guilty of rape and sexual assault, and the case was set for sentencing last month.
