Ireland Case No. 5726False imprisonment and sexual assault · Co. Limerick · 17 Jan 2020
Man appeals sexual assault and false imprisonment conviction in Limerick
On the night of 17 January 2020, Denis O'Donovan, 38 (reports differ: 39), of Ballyryan, Donohill, Co Tipperary, pulled a woman in her 40s into his car outside her rural home in County Limerick, drove to an isolated lay-by, choked her and sexually assaulted her. He was arrested in January 2020 and charged after forensic tests found his DNA in saliva on the victim's clothing. A jury at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court convicted him in April 2024 of two sexual assaults, false imprisonment and assault causing harm, with no verdict on a fifth count of sexual assault. He was sentenced on 7 June 2024 to seven years with the final six months suspended and placed on the sex offenders register. In March 2026, O'Donovan appealed his conviction at the Court of Appeal, where judgment was reserved.
