Cases
latest first- Man given suspended sentence for sexual assault at Dublin bus stop Sexual assault · Co. Dublin
On 4 February 2022, Anatol Botnari, a 23-year-old Moldovan traffic maintenance worker, was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl at a bus stop on Dublin's north side. After being confronted and injured by up to 40 locals, he was arrested and taken to Ballymun Garda Station. He was convicted at a non-jury trial at Dublin District Court in March 2024, with Judge Monika Leech finding CCTV evidence contradicted his account that he had merely bumped into the girl after drinking. In September 2024, he was given a six-month suspended sentence with conditions including placement on the sex offenders register and a ban on unsupervised contact with children.
