Abderrahmane El Aaour was jailed for 21 months for sexual assault at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court; the proceedings were reported on 29 April 2024. He pleaded guilty. Judge Martin Nolan reduced a three-year headline sentence to 21 months, taking account of the plea and his view that El Aaour was unlikely to reoffend to any great degree. The report said he denied sexually assaulting the woman. Defence counsel Seamus Clarke said the offence would be at the lower end of the scale without the woman’s vulnerability, and said El Aaour was remorseful.
