A 26-year-old man who raped a woman with a bottle in a garden shed five years ago has been jailed for eight years.
Jonathan Moran, from Tower View, Mullingar in Co Westmeath, denied what he had done but was found guilty by a jury.
Ms Raleigh had been attending the Galway Arts Festival with a friend on 21 July 21 2019 when they happened to bump into Moran and other people from their hometown. In her victim impact statement, which she read out in court at a previous hearing, Ms Raleigh told Moran that she was"handing the shame back to you".
"Typical things are no longer fun for me - my body does not enjoy new things any more," Ms Raleigh said. Her friend left with someone else she knew and Ms Raleigh remained with the group, deciding later to go back to the Airbnb that Moran was staying in.Once in the shed, the door was shut and Ms Raleigh was not able to open it.
Gardaí responded immediately and the shed was preserved as a crime scene within minutes of her arrival at the station.
