Woman was kicked in the head, court hears

A middle-aged man became concerned about screams from a woman next door and when he called to the house to see if she was OK, he was kicked in the groin by the woman’s attacker.

Kevin Geary, of 15 Closes Green, Farranree, Cork, pleaded guilty to assault causing harm to a woman and a second charge of assaulting the man. Geary brought €2,000 compensation to Cork District Court for the woman and €500 for the man.

Joseph Cuddigan, defending, said: “When Mr Geary woke up the following morning he realised something outlandish and outrageous had occurred. Of his own accord he went to the Garda station the next day and in effect he said, whatever happened he was putting his hands up to it.”
