Rapist only in Ireland a few days before raping and imprisoning young woman, Why is Ireland Letting in, all the Foreign Criminal Scum Rapists?

Randi Gladstone (41), formally from Guyana, was found guilty by a Central Criminal Court jury earlier this year of one count of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of false imprisonment in a holiday complex in Co Dublin, on August 25, 2023

A convicted rapist who had only been in Ireland for a few days before he raped, sexually assaulted and falsely imprisoned a young woman has been jailed for ten years.

Randi Gladstone (41), formally from Guyana, was found guilty by a Central Criminal Court jury earlier this year of one count of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of false imprisonment in a holiday complex in Co Dublin, on August 25, 2023. Gladstone has 19 previous convictions from the UK, which include convictions for rape, kidnapping, robbery and false imprisonment. Gladstone has been in custody since August 2023.

Passing sentence on Friday, Mr Justice Patrick McGrath said this offending has had a “profound impact on the young woman and her family”. He noted that she has “suffered significant emotional distress and is nervous and anxious when out”.

Judge McGrath agreed with the Director of Public Prosecutions that this offending falls in the 10 to 15 year sentencing category and said Gladstone “preyed on this young vulnerable woman”. He said: “This is a very serious offence with a considerable breach of trust. The defendant took advantage of this young woman’s young age, vulnerability and inexperience”.

The judge rejected the defence claim that this was opportunistic and said Gladstone’s actions “clearly show cunning and planning”. The judge said: “I cannot ignore the defendant’s appalling previous convictions.” He noted that Gladstone has no migrating factors except that he is a foreign national serving time in an Irish prison.

Judge McGrath sentenced Gladstone to ten years in prison and said, “there is no reason to consider suspending any portion of this sentence.” Judge McGrath said: “I was particularly impressed in the manner in which the young woman gave her evidence and how she and her family approached the case.”
