On 15 February 2018, a 17-year-old woman was raped and sexually assaulted at an apartment on Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1, after being given alcohol at a gathering near a concert venue where she had been refused entry for being underage. Jibola Moses Akanni, a 27-year-old man from Drogheda, Co Louth, was found guilty by a Central Criminal Court jury of two counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. Mr Justice David Keane sentenced him to eight and a half years in prison in June 2025, with two years of post-release probation supervision. In February 2026, Ms Justice Niamh Hyland at the Court of Appeal refused Akanni's application for bail ahead of his conviction appeal hearing, which is scheduled for June 2026.
