Men Jailed For 10 Years For 'Predatory' Gang Rape
Two men have been sentenced to 10-years in jail for their part in the gang rape of a young woman.
The judge compared the predatory nature of the attack as like something from a wildlife documentary.
Mr Justice Paul Carney said that the two men, aged 19 and 21, had nothing in their favour when it came to mitigation in relation to the offences of which they had been convicted at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Dublin in November.
The 21-year-old had been convicted of sexual assault and attempted rape and the 19- year-old had been convicted of sexual assault, attempted rape and oral rape of the woman, while he had earlier pleaded guilty to stealing her car, all on September 13th, 2009.
The two men were also ordered to register as sex offenders.
