Abuser who apologised in court to victims loses sentence appeal
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He was sentenced to six years imprisonment with the final two years suspended by Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin on March 6, 2018, which was upheld by the Court of Appeal today. He said the Court of Appeal had not been persuaded that the sentence imposed was excessively severe for offending of such seriousness.
