This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

The Court of Appeal resentenced Gerard Nevin to 10 years in prison after finding his original sentence did not reflect the seriousness of his offences. The ruling followed new sentencing guidance for sexual assault offences.

Nevin had pleaded guilty to 22 sexual assault counts involving his stepdaughters, committed between 2012 and June 2020. The Court of Appeal classified the offending in the higher range and imposed a 12-year term, with the final two years suspended and conditions including probation supervision and offence- and victim-focused work.
