The unnamed man was sentenced to 14 years for rape and aggravated sexual assault at the Central Criminal Court on 4 June 2024, with the final two years suspended on strict conditions. The offences took place in Cavan between July 2020 and May 2022.

A jury found him guilty of one count of rape, three counts of aggravated sexual assault, three counts of assault causing harm and one count of coercive control. He did not accept the verdict, and the judge noted that he had shown no remorse or victim empathy.

The judge said the offences represented a significant breach of trust because the man committed them against his wife in their family home.
