Man found guilty of abduction and rape of woman

A jury has convicted the owner of an escort agency of abducting a mother and her 4-year-old son and repeatedly raping the woman for hours.

Michael Murray, aged 42, of Killiney Oaks, Killiney, Co Dublin, was found guilty of carrying out what the prosecution described as a “terrifying ordeal of sexual depravity”.

Murray had pleaded not guilty at the Central Criminal Court to two counts of sexual assault, two counts of rape with a make-up pen, attempted vaginal and anal rape, oral rape, and aggravated sexual assault, between Feb 12 and 13, 2010, in a Dublin city apartment.
