latest first- Man sentenced to seven years for raping Spanish tourist in Dublin on New Year's Eve 2019 Rape · Co. Dublin
On 1 January 2019, a 19-year-old Spanish woman who was in Dublin to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks was raped in Dublin city centre, in a location that sources describe differently as a street near Dublin Castle or a car park area. The accused, Christopher O'Grady, a man aged 33 or 34 according to reports and formerly of Muirhevnamor, Dundalk, Co Louth, was arrested in late January 2019 and pleaded not guilty to one count of rape at the Central Criminal Court. A jury found him guilty on 6 March 2025 after a trial before Ms Justice Caroline Biggs, and the sentence hearing was adjourned while restorative justice was considered and found not feasible. On 31 July 2025 he was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment with the final six months suspended.
