Claire HenryA Tipperary man has been jailed for eight years in prison for the rape of “a vulnerable and intoxicated” young woman in a Dublin hotel. The court heard that the woman had been out with friends but was asked to leave a Dublin pub because she was so intoxicated. Further CCTV footage showed Brett and the woman arrive at the hotel and the woman was still unable to remain upright at that point. She noted that Brett still maintains his innocence and claims that he and the woman got naked together in the hotel room and “fooled around”. “Instead, he brought her back to his hotel room,” the judge said before she added that Brett then “raped this vulnerable and intoxicated woman”.
