Today Father-of-seven Shorten (50), of Melrose Crescent, Clondalkin, Dublin 22, was sentenced to a total of 17 years in prison for the rape a then 19 year old woman in June 2022 and another 20 year old woman on August 9 of that year.
The sentences today will be served consecutively to the 13 years Shorten was handed down earlier this week for the rape of a seven year old child. Dressed in a white shirt with a navy spotted tie and wearing glasses, Shorten kept his head down and remained silent throughout the sentencing.
