Man jailed for sexually assaulting three-year-old boy at Dublin homeless hotel

A man has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison for sexually assaulting a three-year-old boy at a homeless hub in Dublin.

Gheorghe Rafaila (32) pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting the toddler while both were resident at a Dublin hotel on July 22, 2019.

At a hearing at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court today, Judge Martin Nolan handed down a two-and-a-half year sentence but suspended the final year on the basis that the sexual assault was at the lower range of offending.
