Dungannon rape sentencing

Overview

Two men, Luis Dos Martins Mariano and Alcino Soares, were sentenced to six years in prison for the rape of a 19-year-old woman in an underground car park in Dungannon, County Tyrone. The assault occurred on September 10, 2023, during which one of the men recorded the incident on a mobile phone.

A judge described the event as “disturbing” and “predatory group activity.” Both defendants, who moved to Northern Ireland from East Timor as children, will serve half of their sentences in custody and the remainder on licence. They have been placed on the sex offenders register for life and are subject to 10-year Sexual Offences Protection Orders. Following the ruling, Unionist MLA Doug Beattie criticized the sentences as “unduly lenient.”
