'C Case' rapist sentence appeal adjourned

The appeal brought by a rapist against his 21-year sentence for the rape of an 86-year-old woman suffering with Alzheimer’s disease has been adjourned for more than a week.

The Court of Criminal Appeal today adjourned the appeal brought by Simon McGinley (aged 37), who was jailed for 21 years by Mr Justice George Birmingham in July 2009 after he was convicted of rape by a Central Criminal Court jury.
