Man, 41, sentenced to 11 years on two counts of rape | Newry Times
41-year-old Audrius Silinskas has this week been sentenced to eleven years for two counts of rape of a woman at Newry Crown Court.
Detective Constable Mallon explains, “The woman, in this case, displayed immense courage in seeing this investigation through to a successful conclusion.
“I hope that her tenacity and resolution to bring this man to justice will encourage anyone else who has experienced any form of sexual abuse to come forward to the police.
“Officers in the Police Service of Northern Ireland remain committed to investigating all reports of sexual offences.
“We will seek to place offenders before the courts so they can be made amenable for their crimes.
“I would like to take this opportunity to assure any victims of sexual abuse that they will be treated with sensitivity and respect.
“And I would continue to encourage anyone who has experienced any form of sexual abuse to contact police on 101, or ‘999’ in an emergency,” Detective Constable Mallon adds.
