Mechanic gets ten years for rape and assault

A mechanic convicted of rape and other charges was sentenced to ten years in prison today in the Supreme Court. Dennis Gabourel appeared before Justice Adolph Lucas and following a lengthy mitigation plea by defence attorney Hubert Elrington, was given eight years for rape, three years for grievous harm, and two years for aggravated assault. The rape and grievous harm sentences are to be served concurrently. Gabourel was convicted of raping his former wife and sexually molesting a fifteen-year-old minor.
