Dublin taxi driver Raymond Shorten is due back in court today to be sentenced for raping two female passengers on separate dates during the summer of 2022.

Earlier this week, the father-of-seven with an address at Melrose Crescent, Clondalkin, Dublin, was jailed for thirteen years for the sexual abuse of a young girl.

Just three days after being jailed for raping a seven-year-old girl over a decade ago, Raymond Shorten will find himself back before a judge later this morning.

He’s due to be sentenced today for raping two female passengers in his taxi on separate dates in June and August of 2022.

At trial, he claimed everything that happened in the back of his taxi was consensual, but the jury didn’t believe him and convicted him on all charges.

He was supposed to be sentenced on Monday, but the judge adjourned sentencing until today to give him a chance to look over the sentence handed down by his colleague for the historic child abuse offences.

He’s due before the court at 10.30am.
