Vulnerable woman transferred €140k from employer after "implied threats"
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Quinn said given Sheehan's personal circumstances, her co-operation with the investigation and the fact that the garda has spoken up for her, he was satisfied that it was a "rare case that falls within exceptional cases and justifies a suspended sentence". He sentenced Sheehan to 18 months in prison which he suspended in full on strict conditions.
