GSOC probe forces court to delay sentencing of ex-Rihanna security chief accused of harassing garda

Sentencing of pop singer Rihanna's former security chief for harassing a garda with threatening text messages has been postponed pending a Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) investigation into his arrest.

Geoffrey Keating, aged 39, sent messages to the garda sergeant using the Viber app after being given his private phone number. Keating of Woodbank Drive, Finglas, pleaded guilty earlier to one count of harassing Garda Sergeant Brendan Carey from the accused's home address on August 21 last year.
