Ireland Kildare man jailed for assault on former partner
A 27-year-old man from Kildare assaulted his former partner at an address in Co. Dublin in December 2022, leaving her with bruises all over her body, while he was on a probation bond from a previous assault causing harm conviction. He was convicted in July 2024 of assault causing harm and criminal damage, and found not guilty of false imprisonment and production of an article capable of causing serious harm. The jury could not reach verdicts on rape and threats charges, which the DPP dropped. On 23 October 2024 at the Central Criminal Court, the judge imposed a sentence of three years and 10 months, with the final ten months suspended on strict conditions, including no contact with the woman or her family.
