Sex attacker walks free after 6 months

Sex attacker Anthony Lyons will walk out of jail today with an appeal against the leniency of his six-month sentence still pending.

Lyons aged 52 — who was highly successful in business with his aircraft leasing company — was jailed in July when he followed a woman home from a pub near his home in Dublin.

The father-of-four, from Griffith Avenue, had claimed he was innocent and blamed his behaviour on a side-effect from the medication he was taking.
