    Christopher Stokes, a 39-year-old man, assaulted Simone Lee, a 43-year-old woman, at her home on Fairview Crescent, Garryowen, Limerick on 10 and 11 May 2021, beating her, splashing ammonia acid in her face, pouring boiling water on her back, and setting the property on fire while her friend Tim Fehin, a 71-year-old man, was also inside. Stokes was initially charged with attempted murder but pleaded guilty to assault causing serious harm, arson, and threatening to kill or cause serious injury to Fehin at the Central Criminal Court in Cork on 28 February 2023. He was sentenced to 11 and a half years' imprisonment on 2 March 2023. Lee, who spent over two months in a burns unit, said she believed Stokes had researched and copied a 2016 assault on her by her ex-partner Colin Ryan.
