An Iraqi refugee convicted of raping a 10-year-old boy at a Vienna swimming pool has had his sentence increased from six to seven years in prison as the result of a retrial.

A Vienna court slapped 21-year-old Amir A. with the longer prison sentence on Tuesday, after finding him guilty of serious sexual assault and rape of a minor.

The retrial came after a previous sentence of six years was overturnedÂ in October after a defense lawyer argued that the lower court had not done enough to determine whether the rapist had realized that the boy was saying no.
