Irish woman is jailed for rape of mother of two in bathroom

Maggiep: For the most part you are corerect, but if the undocemented alien in question happens to be a native of Ireland, he/she may be deported for the least infraction of the law. Early last month a Galwayman was deported from Boston by Immigration officials ater he had been fined $100 for a minor traffic violation. About 12 years ago, 6 members of a camogie team were arrested by the Border Patrol as they returned fro Canada after playing a match with a team in Montreal. These young ladies had NOT committed any crime but they had overstayed the visitors' visas. Then the were all deported. It seems as though the Irish who come here on visitors' visas are treated much more harshly than the millions of foreigners who ILLEGALLY enter thru our southern border and avail themselves of many free benefits at taxpayers' expense.

Here in the US she would be registered democrat voter and might run for congress when she got out, never be deported

ChiChione, It would have had to be stiffer wouldn't it?

Give her a manicure and send her home.

I agree with Irishman57, this so called victim kissed the "other for all of three minutes, if you've kissed someone, you know that three minutes is quite long, and would usually mean something, this definitly smells." And not just Anne-Marie O'Loughlin's finger.

This doesn't make any sense. Why would the woman who was married kiss a complete stranger in a bathroom stall, when another patron of the place was in there and could get help or step in and help her get away form the supposed rapist. Additionally, three minutes in s an incredibly long time to kiss anyone, particularly if you are trying to get away form someone. Something stinks all over this case.

If the details outlined in this article are true then it is both disgusting and disturbing. There are many cases similar to this one and I don't think alcohol has anything to do with it. Such women are just perverts. If she is guilty then the sentence is like a slap on the hand. Just because the defendant is a female is no reason for such a light sentence. A man would have received a much stiffer sentence for the same crime.

I read that "O'Loughlin attacked the 34-year-old woman in the female toilets of the hotel where she digitally vaginally and anally raped the woman." "The victim, who cannot be named, told the court that although she kissed O'Loughlin in the toilets for up to three minutes, she had not given consent for Ms O'Loughlin to pull up her top and bra and touch her breast."

It truly is a stretch of imagination for anyone to consider this assault a rape. The accused had a little bit too much to drink, kissed another woman, and is now being thrown in jail for over two years. How is this justice? No, this is madness.

SNL stuff?

Weird to say the least. How could she be raped by another woman in a toilet with another woman in the next cubicle? She did not have her trousers off. All she is accused of doing is kissing the other woman. If that was a male, he sure would not do time for a kiss. Also most men rapists - real ones- get off with a caution if they were so drunk and do not remember. How many men have really raped others in their sleep and walk free. No, this stinks of something.....no doubt the truth will surface.

I was there in court when her sentence was given. The jailing of this woman is an absolute disgrace and is based on the filmiest of evidence and conjecture. How a jury could convict her is mind boggling and it is not only me saying it. There is certainly a lot more to this case than what has been reported. The Irish Govt and every Irish person and supporter should get behind her and offer her some support. I am ashamed to be Australian

Hummmm...was the "victim" penetrated with a foreing object? for how long this took place? for just a kiss?...guess this only happen in Australia...btw I agree with Irishman57.

The main photo shows a building called the Caxton Hotel. This story tells of the incident occurring in the Canton Hotel. That discrepancy makes me doubt the veracity of the whole story.
