Bláthnaid Raleigh : Aftermath

Bláthnaid Raleigh : Aftermath

Topics covered : rape, trauma, living in fear, self harm, PTSD, reclaiming.


Bláthnaid Raleigh is from Mullingar, and her world changed forever after a night out in Galway in July 2019, when she was attacked and raped by a man from her hometown, Johnny Moran.

As you can imagine, this conversation is intense at times, so please take care while listening.

For five long years, as Bláthnaid tried to rebuild her life, he continued to live his, as normal — while she and her family were left in limbo, waiting for justice.


Finally, in July 2024, he was sentenced to eight years in prison, without ever showing an ounce of remorse.

Bláthnaid’s book Aftermath is a powerful and devastating account of what it means to survive — and of the failings of a system that left her feeling forgotten and silenced. But it’s also a story of extraordinary strength, courage, and the slow process of reclaiming herself.


If you’ve been affected by what you’ve heard, please know that you’re not alone and there is help available.
