A 50-year-old taxi driver, who was described as preying on vulnerable young women, has been found guilty of rape.

Raymond Shorten, from Melrose Crescent, Clondalkin in Dublin, had denied raping two young women on separate nights in summer 2022.

After deliberating for a total of 76 minutes since yesterday the jury found him guilty on all three charges of rape by unanimous verdict.

He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on 1 July.

The prosecution had described Shorten as “predatory” and said he had targeted vulnerable women who were drunk and trying to get home.

Prosecuting counsel Gerardine Small described the man’s accounts of having consensual sex with each of the women as a “farce” and “ludicrous”.

The court heard that both women had both been working, socialising and drinking in the city centre. The first incident took place in June 2022 and the second in August of that year. Shorten showed no Remorse, after the Verdict of Guilty.
