Raymond Shorten, the taxi driver who was convicted last month of raping two young women in his taxi on separate nights in 2022, has also been convicted of raping a seven-year-old girl 12 years ago.

1. Throw away the key.

2. Watch how he’ll get 3 concurrent sentences, effectively letting 2 of his crimes go completely unpunished.

3. There are times when any sentence is too little.

   Sick fuck.

4. How was he able to work as a taxi driver with a criminal record like that?

5. I said it in a previous post I know this guy personally, I had no idea about this and I’m absolutely fucking rattled. I thought he was alright for a long time but my dad never liked him, I subsequently found out it was because he tried to pin some pedo stuff on someone else in the area and I guess this was probably it and he was trying to cover his arse. I hope he gets violated with a broken pool cue. I’m fucking disgusted.

6. Fucking hell. I hope he gets put in gen pop.

7. That’s the kind of person that should be removed permanently from society.

8. Cunt needs to get *severely* hurt in prison for this.

9. Sick bastard.

10. “The first rape happened shortly after the childs mother had died”

    There isn’t a hole in the world deep enough to bury this prick.

11. That poor kid. The trauma of losing a parent and then this scumbag gets his hands on her.

12. Got to imagine there is more victims out there… Sick bastard like this doesn’t just pop up and do something every 12 years… Hopefully more feel ok to come forward now and get this fucker a bigger sentence.

13. >Prosecuting counsel Gerardine Small said the DPP’s view was that the offending fell into the more serious category meriting a sentence of 10 to 15 years.

    I’m so used to extremely poor sentencing that I at first thought this was good enough but it’s not. 10 to 15 years for raping 3 people including a child repeatedly just after their mother had died. And he showed no remorse. There’s no scenario where this man steps out of prison and is no longer a danger to women.

    The extreme leniency to criminals in this country makes me ashamed to be Irish.

    Reading that girl’s story makes me want to cry.

14. And there are still people who would say he doesn’t deserve the death penalty. This is exactly what we need it for.

15. I thought only
    Immigrants raped though. /s

16. He would have needed to be garda vetted to get his taxi licence ????

17. Would the dad of the little girl not kill the guy as soon as he found out? Why go through the court system? The other two rapes wouldn’t have happened then. The average man on the street knows you get no justice through the system for things like this. It wouldn’t be so much that you would want to kill him, you’d have to kill him on principle and do whatever time you have to afterwards. It wouldn’t be much of a sentence it was a once off.

18. I genuinely think we should bring back the death penalty
