Judge jails two women after 'full-scale riot' in Cork court

A judge has jailed two women for leading what he described as a “full-scale riot” which terrified jurors during a gang rape trial.

The two women were the ringleaders of a court outburst yesterday after the jury found one 21-year-old guilty of attempted rape and a 19-year-old guilty of attempted rape and oral rape. Both were found guilty of sexual assault.
