Accused developed drug-induced psychosis after a bad acid trip, court heard.

A drug-induced psychosis following a “bad acid trip” saw a student harassing a young woman for years to the point she suffered post-traumatic stress disorder.

25-year-old Luke Horgan, of Bunakilla, Donoughmore, Co Cork, was on Wednesday given a three-year suspended sentence and was reminded by Judge Helen Boyle of an order requiring him to have no contact of any kind with the injured party for the next 20 years.
