Suspended sentence for monastery trespasser

A man discovered with his trousers and underwear around his ankles in a toilet in an enclosed nuns' monastery is to get a suspended sentence on very strict conditions from Judge Joseph Matthews.

Shane Hempenstall (aged 29) of Finglas Wood Road, Finglas West needed "long-term vocational training and support because he is deeply psychiatrically disturbed" Judge Matthews said at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court when he further remanded him on continuing bail for sentence.
