[s1962a]

What a vile and nasty piece of work. 5 years and he's eligible for parole.

article said:

O'Flaherty was ordered to spend at least five years in prison before being eligible for parole and was placed on the sex offenders' register indefinitely...

The judge noted that a risk assessment carried out by two experts concluded O'Flaherty was a "high risk to girls and women".

The court also heard he had previously received a 13-year jail sentence after pleading guilty in 2007 to the rape of two girls.

Hundreds & thousands.

Ridculous sentence, especially with that previous conviction.

article said:

His victims were aged between seven and 32, with one a vulnerable teenager.

What would it take to lock him up for good?

Good to see him cone-victed. Put him on Ice for a while.

Inappropriate

Terrifying . The atypical Bogeyman.

Not sure i'd buy an ice cream from him

Five years sounds awfully lenient given his record.

Looks like a right screwball.

I haven't read the entire article, but when a summary includes ''was found guilty of seven charges against four victims, including rape, assault, ...'' and ''His victims were aged between seven and 32''. 5 years in prison doesn't sound enough.

Jokes? Really?

Especially as it's his 2nd time inside for sex offences.

OLR is an indeterminate sentence though, and given the offending it seems unlikely they would ever be released:
