A man is convicted and sentenced following a rape case in Co Dublin in which he allegedly posed as a taxi driver. Costel Raducan, 37, of High Street, Balbriggan, is convicted by a jury at Ireland’s Central Criminal Court, according to reports. The convictions relate to offences committed at a location in Co Dublin on 3 May 2025. The jury returns guilty verdicts including burglary, rape, and attempted anal rape. One report states that Raducan is jailed following the jury’s decision, and another describes the case in similar terms, referring to the same Central Criminal Court conviction and the same date. Both accounts present the core allegations as involving a man who approached a woman using the guise of a taxi driver before the offences occurred. The reports do not describe additional details about the sentence length or the investigation beyond the conviction outcomes and the date and location of the incident.
