A Dublin man has been given early release from his 10-year sentence for raping a woman whom he dragged into bushes and subjected to almost seven hours of violent sexual molesting in 1996.

Jeremiah Rigney, aged 43, of Cashel Road, Crumlin was jailed for 10 years by now retired Mr Justice Dermot Kinlen at the Central Criminal Court in January 1999 with a review of sentence after four years had been served.
