He's been jailed for 12 years.
A man has been jailed for 12 years for raping one woman he met on Tinder and sexually assaulting another in secluded parts of County Meath five years ago.
37-year-old Patrick Nevin from Dun Laoghaire is already serving a prison sentence for attacking another woman he met on the dating app.
On July 12th 2014, Patrick Nevin raped a woman outside a cemetery in a secluded part of County Meath. Four days later, he sexually assaulted a woman on a rural road in the county and he attacked a Brazilian woman on UCD’s campus one week later.
He met all three women on Tinder and all of the attacks took place in the software engineer’s blue BMW car.
The woman who survived the rape said she made it clear to him that she didn't want to have sex with him but he forced himself on her anyway. Gardaí investigating the first sexual assault found an audio recording on his phone of the woman pleading with him to stop. When she refused to have sex with him, he became angry and could be heard telling her she shouldn’t have aroused him.
He's already serving a five and a half year prison sentence for sexually assaulting the Brazilian woman who described him as a “monster”.
Today, he was handed a 14-year sentence for the attacks in Meath. The judge suspended the final two years on condition he doesn’t use the internet or dating apps during that time.
