Raymond Shorten Handed A 17-Year Sentence For The Rape Of Two Women In His Taxi

Today's sentence will run consecutively to the 13-year prison sentence he received on Monday for sexually abusing a young girl

Dublin taxi driver, Raymond Shorten, has been handed a 17-year prison sentence for raping two female passengers in the back of his cab in 2022.

The 50-year-old father-of-seven, of Melrose Crescent, Clondalkin, claimed the women consented to the sexual activity in his taxi, but the jury didn’t believe him.

Today’s sentence will run consecutively to the 13-year prison sentence he received on Monday for sexually abusing a seven-year-old girl over a decade ago.

That means he has effectively been handed a 30-year prison sentence.
