Suspended sentence for man (40) who cut off au pair's underwear during sex assault was too lenient, court finds at it sends him to jail
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Cormac Quinn imposed an 18-month suspended sentence at Tipperary Circuit Court on January 12, 2023. Counsel noted a Probation Report was available to the sentencing judge which showed Haig had "a very difficult background". "It may be considered charitable to say that a two and half year sentence is a significant departure but I would respectfully submit that it isn't," he added.
