Groper garda convicted of sex assaults on two colleagues launches appeal

A garda sergeant who was convicted of sexually assaulting two female colleagues has launched an appeal in a bid to clear his name.

After separate trials at Dublin District Court in March, he received fines totalling €3,000 after he had been found guilty of sexual assault.

On Mar 16, the sergeant, aged 49, who had contested all charges, was convicted for twice sexually assaulting a female colleague, on dates in March and Jun 2010.
