Pair jailed for assault and violent sex attack

Two teenagers who followed two young women separately through the streets of Cork City, hitting one with a bottle and subjecting the other to a violent sexual assault, have been jailed for nine and eight years.

Colin O’Sullivan and Adam Heneghan were 18 years old on the night of violence. They had no previous convictions.

The victim of the serious sexual assault said yesterday: “Both young men have never shown any remorse whilst in court and any apology given at this stage to me is meaningless. I honestly believe that no matter how young or old someone is, there is no excuse to understand the difference between right and wrong and what happened to me that night was so wrong that no human being could excuse it for being anything else.”
