Taxi Driver Gets Consecutive 17-Year Sentence For Rape
Dublin taxi driver, Raymond Shorten, has been handed a seventeen-year prison sentence for raping two female passengers in the back of his cab in 2022.
The 50-year-old father-of-seven, of Melrose Crescent, Clondalkin, claimed the women consented to the sexual activity in his taxi, but the jury didn’t believe him.
Today’s sentence will run consecutively to the 13-year prison sentence he received on Monday for sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl over a decade ago.
That means he has effectively been handed a thirty-year prison sentence.
