Corkman sexually assaulted former partner’s daughter

A three-year jail term was imposed on a Corkman who was found guilty of sexually assaulting his ex-partner’s daughter on occasions when she was only 12 to 13 years old.

David Buckley, aged 32, of 4 Convent Rd, Doneraile, Co Cork, denied the sexual assaults which he carried out between December 2009 and March 2011 at his then partner’s home in another area in Co Cork.

A jury found him guilty in November. Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin remanded Buckley in custody for sentencing yesterday at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
