Dublin Man Found Guilty of Raping his Mother on Mother’s Day

A Dublin man has been found guilty of raping his mother on a mothers day in March 2008 and is awaiting sentence. The judge described the case as ‘distasteful and sordid.’

The 45-year-old man had pleaded not guilty and had claimed inevidence that the sex with his mother was consensual.

 

It took the jury of four men and eight women lest than five hours to arrive at the guilty verdict.

 

The presiding judge, Justice Barry White in his last address to the jury told them “It is not often a jury has to deal with a trial as distasteful and sordid as this.”

 

The rapist was remanded in prison for sentencing in October 1 and the Justice demanded that he be registered as a sex offender and that the court should be provided with a victim impact report.

 

The 65-year-old mother was ill and awaiting operation at the time of the incident.

 

I’m even baffled it took the jury over four hours of deliberations to find the man guitly. It ought to have taken them just a minute.
