Woman raped while comatose like a ‘rag doll’

A young woman has described how she was violated and treated like a rag doll when a fellow party-goer raped her while she lay comatose on a bed.

“I was an easy target, vulnerable, unconscious. A random girl ripe for the picking. Too good an opportunity to pass up,” the now 21-year-old college student’s victim impact report stated.

It was read out at the Central Criminal Court during the sentence hearing of Diarmuid Manning, aged 21, who was yesterday jailed for four and half years after he admitted raping the woman at a house party in Cork.
