Neighbour saved from jail as victim's father intervenes

A man involved in kidnapping a teenage neighbour has been saved from serving his two years suspended sentence by the intervention of the victim’s father at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

James Kenny Jnr (aged 22), and his father, James Kenny Snr (aged 51) of Woodlawn Park Avenue, Firhouse were given two-year suspended sentences by Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne in November 2004 on condition that they keep the peace for three years.
