A convicted Carlow rapist who was extradited from the USA in August has today been jailed for seven years by Mr Justice Paul Carney at the Central Criminal Court.

Michael Christian Moran (aged 29), of Woodgrove, Tullow Road, absconded to the USA six years ago just before he was due to be sentenced for raping a then 27-year-old woman in a residential area of the town as she walked home from a hen-party on July 18, 1999.
