With just over a year-and-a-half left to serve, convicted serial rapist Venslow Orlando Small petitioned the Court of Appeal to revisit his 30-year sentence yesterday.
However, the court dismissed his application, saying a Court of Appeal, comprised of different judges, had dismissed his appeal, in the same matter, 16 years ago.
It was on December 9, 2005, 21 years ago, that Small, then 35, of Wellington Street, The City, was sentenced to 15 years for each of three counts of aggravated burglary and 25 years for five of six counts of rape.
For the rape of a 58-year-old English visitor, who broke her hip after leaping from an upstairs window after the violation, he was ordered to spend 30 years in jail.
