The sentences today will be served consecutively to the 13 years Shorten was handed down earlier this week for the rape of a seven year old child
Evil taxi driver rapist Raymond Shorten has been jailed to a total of 30 YEARS in prison for the rape of two women - and a child.
He said that this man “already raped a child and years later set about committing these offences. He knew exactly what he was doing. He appeared to do it with impunity,” the Judge said. He said therefore it “justifies the imposition of the sentence to be proportionally more severe.” He said Shorten committed the offences knowing he had committed the rape of a child, and he “went about identifying two further victims, repeating his offence, without compunction, and without hesitation.
The second sentence for rape is to take affect from today’s date - with the court hearing that taken together, it would mean an overall 36 years in prison. Judge McDermott said he was taking into account the totality principle and reduced two of the sentences to nine years and 8 years. She said she felt very dazed and her eyes were heavy. She said the man moved her to the back seat where he raped her anally and vaginally. When he finished, the man returned to the driver’s seat, then dropped her near her home.
During her testimony, the woman became upset as she recounted returning to her house where her parents asked her questions. She said she broke down crying and told them what had happened. Under cross-examination, she rejected the defence’s contention that there was mutual kissing, then consensual sexual activity.
