  • Castlefin man sentenced to seven years for rape in Donegal Rape · Co. Donegal

    Kevin McGovern, 28, of Castlefin, Donegal, was convicted by a jury of one count of rape on August 21, 2021, after getting into the bed of Lauren Holmes and raping her while she slept in her own home. He was charged with three offences, and a nolle prosequi was entered on two charges the jury could not agree on. When arrested in January 2022, McGovern denied rape and said he had consensual sex. In December 2025, Ms Justice Melanie Greally at the Central Criminal Court sentenced him to seven years with the final six months suspended, plus 12 months of probation supervision, backdated to 18 November when he went into custody.
