A man who raped two prostitutes in a Dublin brothel has been jailed for five years by Mr Justice Carney at the Central Criminal Court. Aiden Byrne (20), of Lower Oriel Street, Dublin, told gardai later he was "stoned" out of his mind when he committed the crimes at the Parnell Street "massage parlour".
Det Sgt Walter O'Connell told prosecuting counsel that Byrne entered the premises at about 6 p.m. and paid £50 to a woman. She told Byrne she would not provide sexual intercourse for the money but Byrne insisted he wanted full sex and repeated he knew the brothel-owner.
He became very aggressive and verbally abusive before pushing her down on a bed and having sex with her. Det Sgt O'Connell said Bryne followed her into another room where she was telling her colleague what had happened. He smashed a chair and then demanded oral sex of the second woman. He pushed her into a chair and forced oral sex on her.
