GAA player delivers eloquent victim impact statement to man who assaulted her

Alisha Jordan delivered an eloquent victim impact statement to the man who seriously assaulted her two summers ago, telling Kevin Bynum that he had "failed miserably to destroy" her.

Bynum will serve eight years in jail as a result of the savage attack which almost killed the Meath native in 2012 when she was just 20.

In passing sentence at a Bronx courthouse, Judge Peter Benitez praised Ms Jordan for her resolve and determination.
