Rapists to appear in court in May over appeal

Two rapists serving lengthy sentences after attacking a teenage girl in a Douglas flat will appear in court later this year to appeal their convictions and sentences.

Last year, James Marcus Doherty was given 16 years in prison for his part in the rape, while Graham Skillicorn was jailed for 14 and a half years.

Both took part in raping the 18 year old intoxicated girl in Skillicorn's flat in Anagh Coar in June 2022.

They're due to appear at Douglas Courthouse before Judge of Appeal Cross, Deemster Pratt and Deemster Farrell on May 30.
