Defilement left vulnerable teenager ‘in a very dark place’
Ray O’Driscoll of Ballyhilloe, Leap, Co Cork, was sentenced to seven years’ jail with the last three years suspended, at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said the Court of Criminal Appeal wanted judges to rate the seriousness of cases and commented: “I can only say this one is between the ceiling and the roof; you cannot get much higher.”
