They’ll all be sentenced this afternoon.
Four men will be sentenced today for raping a teenage girl in a car.
A fifth man will be sentenced for sexually assaulting the then 17-year-old, whose identity is protected by law.
During the trial, the woman gave evidence of becoming separated from friends following a night out in Tullamore on St Stephen’s Day 2016.
She said she agreed to get into a car full of boys, which she innocently assumed were her friends.
They weren’t.
The driver, Marcos Vinicius De Silva Umbelino, of Riverview, Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath, was among those convicted of raping her.
Eduardo Dias Ferreira Filho, also of Riverview, Kilbeggan and Gabriel Gomes Da Rocha of Mount Armstrong, Rahan, Tullamore, were also found guilty.
Just before the trial started, Conor Byrne of Ballybeg, Moate, Co Westmeath admitted raping her, while a fifth man, Ethan Nikolaou of Brosna Park, Kilbeggan, was convicted of sexual assault.
They’ll all be sentenced this afternoon.
