A woman who was raped by three men she met in a nightclub has said she feels she has protected other women by giving evidence against the men. 39-year-old Anthony Hickey from Ballyogan in Carrickmines, 42-year-old Fabio Vicente from Enniskerry in Co Wicklow and Matin Zolfaghari, who is 34 and from Marley Court in Rathfarnham, were convicted earlier this year of raping the young woman in August 2019 and sentenced to terms of 15 and 13 years. The woman told RTÉ News that despite the intimidation she had faced in the courtroom and the men’s lack of respect and remorse, she had used her voice to show them she would not accept what they had done. Our Legal Affairs Correspondent, Órla O’Donnell spoke to the woman, who wants to be known as ‘Kate’. If you’ve been affected by any of the issues raised please visit www.rte.ieu002Fhelplines 📲
