Sexual assaults in Courtown

RiCriostoir

The Irish media have been skirting around how to report this. The reporting started off with no details of the offence being reported due to the sensitive nature of the case, to it finally being reported that it is an alleged rape case, but still with no details of the perpetrators. Hmm?

And the usual knuckle draggers jump to the usual conclusions.

Yet local media's reporting they're from Kilkenny City; will that stop the asylum seeker bashers which has meant Irelands Right Wing scum like R**** C**** has jumped in his car, paid for by his supporters, and gone to Courtown?

Nope, they'll say it's a cover up and the Irish're taking the rap.....

Cantona's Collars

Media say that it's believed the suspects have left the country.

All the wild speculation would stop if Gardai issued a description of the alleged rapists. They have got cctv evidence in their possession.
Local women in particular need to be protected from future possible attacks.
Something very peculiar going on here.
Has any local politican spoken out.
It's all very well calling the likes of Rowan Croft a scumbag but until some statement/description is issued people like him will draw their own conclusions.
Why the silence?

The culprits were minors from Kilkenny apparently. The cops know who they are but are being protected by their parents,and are believed to have gone to England to stay with family or relatives.

Heard it on a bulletin or read it somewhere.

A Newspaper reported was interviewed on radio this morning - poss. Cork's 96FM

She gave a little more information, but I'm reluctant to post it just in case.

Did anyone else hear this?

If it was said on the radio its in the public domain you can tell us.

Repeating sth libellous/slanderous is no defence.

I'll bide my time thanks. (I'm not being smart here - I don't want Boards, or me, to get in trouble.)

If I can find the info I will post a link.

Quantum Erasure

two brothers sentenced today, 5 years and 6 years respectively

https://www.rte.ie/news/courts/2021/0920/1247932-court-rape/

So what I glean from a little bit of research is that the two rapists were from an ethnic group but appear to be native Irish and their relatives were allegedly trying to shield them from both Justice and from the wrath of the extended family of the victim of this crime. Is that the extent of it or am I missing any other key details that the Media are unable to report and which can't be stated here on the forum?

Sentences are a total joke. 5 years for this horrific crime FFS.

Should be 25 at least without parole.

And those that shielded them to evade justice should get at least 10 years.

The justice system (sorry industry) in this country is a complete joke.!!

BronsonTB

☝️ 100% - At the very least they should be able to name the now convicted in public!!

Protecting a criminal is wrong & sentencing is way too lenient in this country.

The Bleeding Hearts should be arriving here shortly.....😉

No sentence at all...they will be out pretty quickly for "good behaviour" no doubt :(

This gets curiouser and curiouser.

I presuem detailsare witheld because the victims are minors and entilted to complete anonymity. (I don't hae a problem with that.)

BUT - it's disappointing that, without more info, it;s impossible to know what's going on - the sentences seem very light- esp. as the convicted pair evaded justice, and were aided by others.

I wonder will the DPP appeal the sentences?

I don't agree with children being sent to prison under any circumstances.

I would suggest that it's because of attitudes like this that these crimes are committed in the first place.!! "i'm under 18 so i can commit any crime that i please, i'm untouchable" Most likely because they've seen their own parents do likewise without any consequences. To call these "children" is an insult to ordinary decent children throughout the country. They are ANIMALS plain and simple, and that may even be insulting to animals everywhere. A 20 year sentence in a proper prison (not a holiday camp) would be fitting for these scum and set a precedent for future scum thinking about committing similar crimes.

Time to call a spade a spade in this country and put victims before scumbags.😡

Would you care to tell us your solution.? Probably give them free ice-cream daily in the 'hope' that it will rehabilitate them.!!

What should have happened to Jamie Bulger's killers ?

In this case it doesn't matter what sentence was given as travellers will never let something like this go. Those lads will be looking over their shoulders the rest of there lives.

I've had minors boasting to me as they are engaged in anti-social activity that they already have ASBOs.
