Nurse guilty of raping another woman in Brisbane hotel toilets

A NURSE has been found guilty of raping another woman in the toilets at one of Brisbane's most popular hotels.

A District Court jury in Brisbane took 13 hours to convict Anne-Marie O'Loughlin, 25, on two counts of digital rape and one of deprivation of liberty at the Caxton Hotel, near the CBD, on November 29 last year.

O'Loughlin, who wept as the verdicts were delivered, was found not guilty of a fourth charge of sexual assault.

She had pleaded not guilty to all four charges.

O'Loughlin had been in Australia on a criminal charge visa and would have returned home to Ireland on Monday had she been acquitted.

However, she was remanded in custody and is unlikely to be sentenced before February.

Barrister Damian Walsh, for O'Loughlin, said he wanted an adjournment so he could get a psychological report to put before the court.

Judge David Reid agreed a report would be useful and adjourned the trial until next Friday when a sentence date will probably be set for the middle of February.

The five day trial heard O'Loughlin attacked the 34-year-old woman in the female toilets of the hotel where she digitally vaginally and anally raped the woman.

The victim, who cannot be named, told the court that although she kissed O'Loughlin in the toilets for up to three minutes, she had not given consent for Ms O'Loughlin to pull up her top and bra and touch her breast.

She further claimed she had not consented to being digitally penetrated by O'Loughlin.

In a police interview played to the jury, O'Loughlin said she had no memory of kissing the woman but admitted it was possible.

Even though she was found guilty,with the snippet's of information,this is case of she said,and the other cannot remember,the so called victim did admit to some consent,that was until the husband waiting outside the toilet door like a dutiful sap,so she needed a excuse for commiting adultery(if that is possible between same sex),this is more a case of even amoung women not all women are equal,the guilty one is the one whom adopt's the male role?

She should have come to the Uk to commit the offence. Women cannot commit rape here yet due to our medieval rape definition.

I'm glad for Australians that such rape is even illegal. It is good to see good law being applied to protect victims.

According to Wikipedia:

In the common law of the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States, rape traditionally describes the act of one party forcing another to have sexual intercourse with him or her.

Yet in England, rape is one of the laws where women can do no wrong, to man or woman:

Rape
(1) A person (A) commits an offence [against person (B)] if—
(a) he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis,
(b) B does not consent to the penetration, and
(c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents.

(Sexual Offences Act 2003, Chapter 42, Part 1, Section 1)

This is dubious, someone I know, knows the girl convicted and she stayed in Brisbane for a year to clear her name even though she could have been deported back to Ireland with no trial and gone free cause she naively believed she could clear her name cause she was innocent. This doesn't add up for me.
