Reserved judgement in appeal brought by rapist who wore women's underwear
Summary
The Court of Criminal Appeal has reserved judgement on an appeal by Przemyslaw Jakubowski, 39, who was jailed for fifteen years for ambushing a woman in a Cork town public toilet and subjecting her to over half an hour of rape and sexual violence. Jakubowski, who had previously been convicted of attempted rape, was found guilty on eleven counts including rape, oral rape, anal rape, threats to kill, assault causing harm, sexual assault and false imprisonment, and not guilty on one count of oral rape. The appeal was based solely on the alleged invalidity of a search warrant used to introduce evidence from a search of Jakubowski's house. The Court of Criminal Appeal, presided over by Mr Justice Donal O'Donnell, has therefore reserved judgement.
