DPP appeal over rape sentence leniency dismissed
The Court of Criminal Appeal has dismissed the DPP's appeal against the leniency of the two-year prison sentence imposed on a Waterford businessman for the rape of a woman he hired through a Cork-based escort agency.
Today the CCA said that it could find "no error" with what was a careful and considered sentence imposed on Billy Keogh, who wept while the three-judge court handed down its verdict.
