Cases
latest first- Appeal dismissed in Dublin sexual assault case Sexual assault · Co. Dublin
A woman in her early 30s alleges she was sexually assaulted while asleep at the home of Mícheál Ó Leidhin, 38, an Irish man from Ballinskelligs, Co Kerry, in the early hours of 13 May 2018 in south Dublin. She reported the incident to gardaí in April 2019, and he was convicted by a jury at the Central Criminal Court in April 2022. In July 2022, Ms Justice Karen O'Connor sentenced him to 18 months with the final three months suspended. The Court of Appeal dismissed his conviction and sentence appeal in December 2022, ruling that consent cannot be implied when a person is asleep.
