Tony Byrne, a 66-year-old retired cameraman, was found guilty by a jury of sexually assaulting his 16-year-old stepdaughter Donna McCarthy at the family home in Firhouse, Dublin 24, on 10 May 1992. The victim made a complaint to gardaí in October 2019, after which Byrne was arrested by appointment and gave a voluntary interview. He was found guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in May 2023 and sentenced on 14 June 2023 to 14 months in prison with the final two months suspended, though some reports state a 12-month sentence. Byrne accepted the jury's verdict and apologised to the victim, who waived her right to anonymity.
