Rapist set to get three years for Dart sex assault

A rapist who has been jailed six times for sexual offences over the last 25 years has been remanded in custody pending imposition of a new prison term for the sexual assault of a woman.

Paul Moore, aged 51, had been on bail awaiting sentencing for the offence which took place on the Dart in 2014.

At Dublin Circuit Criminal Court Judge Melanie Greally yesterday indicated she would impose a three-year sentence with the final 18 months suspended at the end of this month but said she wanted time to “fine tune the conditions” that would apply on his release.
