Artist sentenced to six years for rape and sexual assault of 19-year-old

An artist who raped and sexually assaulted a young woman has been given a six-year sentence.

Scott Kelly, aged 38, of Colmbanus Estate, Milltown, Dundrum, Dublin, pleaded guilty to one count of raping and two counts of sexually assaulting the 19-year-old woman on February 28, 2013, in Dublin.

Mr Justice Paul Carney suspended the final two years of a six year prison sentence after noting the mitigating factors of an early guilty plea and the absence of previous convictions.
