K.C.’s appeal against sentences for indecent assault and sexual assault was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on 11 April 2019, leaving an aggregate 18-year sentence with four years suspended. The sentences had been imposed by Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 2 November 2016.

The court held that the sentences were not disproportionate and that consecutive sentencing was justified. The indecent assault case involved 56 counts concerning K.C.’s younger brother, while the separate sexual assault case involved guilty pleas.
