  1. That poor woman, and the kids who lived with, witnessed and no doubt also suffered violence from this scumbag.

    Horrific to think marital rape was legal until 1990.

  2. The offences date back to 1991-2015. He’s had history of sexual offending in the 70s too. Wondering if he was doing it earlier as well, only that marital rape would have been perfectly legal up to 1990, and divorce wasn’t until 1995. What a nightmare situation to be in.

  3. Absolutely harrowing, that poor woman. I hope she and her children can manage to find solace in their own strength and bravery. They did the most courageous thing keeping a monster off the streets. That fucking prick can rot in hell.

  4. Why waste resources keeping him in prison all the evidence is there take him out back and shoot him nice and simple.

  5. He received a proper sentence. Good on the judge for not letting his guilty plea diminish his sentence too.

  6. I know this is awful and i am most definitely NOT victim blaming or anything of the sort and i know the woman has kids but for the love of Christ would you not have fucked off after the first rape or 2nd ,, 25 years later ? Jesus i’ll never understand how people can have that utter mental dependency on their attacker, Also was she not fearful he would do the same to the kids

  7. If I was the Gardai I would be looking closely at this scum for crimes beyond these offences.

  8. God what an evil sick bastard. God love her and her children who will never recover from the trauma.

  9. Someone pinch me… an actual sentence worth a damn in this country??

  10. Reading that I’m left wondering if that man had other victims too, outside of his marriage. They perhaps never knew who their perpetrator was.

  11. We need more female judges.

    Not to sound sexist but women are generally more empathetic than men, it just makes sense to have a more female-based judicial system.

    This is an example of a proper and fair sentencing, take notes Nolan.

  12. You can only hope that people like this are raped every single fucking day in prison.
