Teen rapist given three-year sentence for assault

A Dublin teenager serving a 12-year sentence for the brutal rape of a homeless woman has been given a concurrent three-year sentence for stabbing a man who let him sleep in his flat.

Mark O'Neill (aged 19) of Golden Lane, Rialto is also currently serving an eight-year sentence imposed last June for vicious robberies on four men which left one of them with serious head injuries and another with only 60% vision in his left eye.
