Morgan Doran was jailed for false imprisonment at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, receiving five years with two and a half suspended, reported on 21 December 2016.

The offence happened in Rathmines, Dublin, on 16 February 2011, after Doran and three others abducted a teenage man.

The group wrongly believed the man had sexually assaulted a girl and threatened him during the abduction.

Doran pleaded guilty in March 2012 and later failed to attend a sentencing hearing, leading to a bench warrant.

Judge Martin Nolan described Doran as the ringleader or moving party in the offence.
