Court reserves judgement in sex assault case
The Court of Criminal Appeal has today reserved judgement in the case of a Co Tipperary man who is appealing against the severity of his eight-year sentence for a violent sexual assault on a teenager.
In February 2011, Noel Holland (aged 39), with a last address at Clarkes Flats, Main Street, Templemore, was sentenced to eight years by Mr Justice Paul Carney at the Central Criminal Court after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting the then 18-year-old at his home on February 1, 2009.
