latest first- Garda sentenced for coercive control of terminally ill partner in Dublin Coercive control
Paul Moody, a 42-year-old man from Celbridge, Co Kildare, was sentenced to three years and three months in prison at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 26 July 2022 for coercive control of his former partner Nicola Hanney, a 44-year-old woman with terminal cancer. The couple met online in 2017, and over a four-year period Moody sent over 30,000 threatening and abusive messages, assaulted her, stole her cancer medication, and used his position as a garda to obtain confidential information about her. The case came to light when Moody handed in his phone to gardaí while making a complaint about one of Hanney's relatives. Moody pleaded guilty to one charge of coercive control covering January 2019 to November 2020, with 19 further counts taken into account, and was suspended from duty in March 2021 before resigning from An Garda Síochána. In December 2023, Hanney appeared in an RTÉ documentary in which she abandoned her anonymity to tell her story.
