Carlow-born former US Marine jailed for sexual abusing his niece has prison sentence cut on appeal
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment with the final two suspended by Mr Justice Paul Carney on December 9 2013. McCall's barrister, Mary Rose Gearty SC, submitted that the selection of 12 years imprisonment in respect of the attempted rape did not accord with other sentences imposed by the courts.
