Jail for Limerick man who made death threats to rape victim through Facebook

"It made me feel small and worthless and that it was all my fault. It took me a very long time to realise that this was not the truth.”

A Limerick man who made death threats through Facebook to a woman he had raped has been jailed for six years.

The man (26), who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, pleaded guilty to one count of raping the then 19-year-old woman in November 2015 at a place in Co Limerick.
