Irishman who raped woman he had just met on Tinder jailed for nine years

Christopher Feeney, 59, was found guilty of four counts of raping and sexually assaulting the woman at his home address at Millbrook, Riverside, Sligo on April 26, 2015, following a Central Criminal Court trial last September.
