Criminal is jailed for sexually assaulting "vulnerable" woman while on "drunken spree"
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Shane Fitzgerald (26) wrote a letter to the court in which he said: "I am the first to agree I deserve a custodial sentence." He said he could not believe what he had done but was ready to address his issues such as drink, drugs and anger management so nothing like this would happen again. Mr Justice McCarthy imposed a sentence of five years imprisonment and ordered Fitzgerald undergo three years post release supervision with The Probation Service.
