Man who sexually assaulted woman in hotel bedroom to be released to resit third-level exams

Mr Justice George Birmingham said the sentence imposed was not a harsh one. However, it did not address the question of post-release supervision.

A man who sexually assaulted a woman in her hotel room, having claimed he entered her room out of concern for her well being, has had his jail term cut on appeal.

The 25-year-old man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, had pleaded not guilty at Wexford Circuit Criminal Court to sexual assault and burglary at a Wexford hotel on October 11, 2008.
