Is the defendant a bully or coward? According to your perspective he could be judged in this light? But I think frustration and humiliation of the defendant is another perspective. The defendant's honour and integrity were cruelly ridiculed by this woman. Moreover, the prevailing ethos of the past 40 years has given undue leniency to aggressive, disrespectful females to humiliate men mercilessly and to have the gall to make homophobic and transphobic comments without censure. I think the judgment in this case is fair due to mitigating circumstances. ⚖️🇮🇪

He should have lost his job. Any other man in any other job would have lost their job. There is no justice in Ireland. Hopefully the DPP will appeal this sentence.

Because he could have still pled not guilty, just to be a dick and force his victim to take the stand to testify against him. So, in that context, it makes sense that he gets some credit for it. However, the Judge gave it far too much weight and acted like he had pled guilty right from the start. Also the fact he initially tried to blame the victim should more than evaporate away any of that credit. It was shitty judgement and it needs to be appealed.

@millsymooshorts 12 дней назад

Men, real men, like yourself Terry, need to call out this injustice, wholly inappropriate sentencing. Regardless of prospect of success, the DPP must, in the public interest appeal the leniency of the sentence. Like you, I am a father to daughters and unconscionable that there would be no punishment here and the fact he is in the army should count against him even moreso, not act as mitigation. It also highlights the inconsistency of sentencing across a range of crimes, something needs to change and it is up to the nation to express its outrage, which in this case, it seems to be doing.

Following such a ridiculous sentence, I can understand why some people would want to take the law into their own hands. If the legal system is to be respected, then the legal system must respect victims of crime.

I wonder what the alternative sentence would have been in England . Seems as though the fact that this is a state employee there is a different level of sentence. We seem to hold uniform to a higher level in the courts ?

@Witchaven i forget off hand, but I'll find it again. There's lots of freaky s*** going on with judges in the irish courts. Another where an unnamed non national climbed into an elderly woman's bed and rubbed himself against her in a sexual manner. He received a suspended sentence, drink was blamed. There's multiple cases..just do your research. Not forgetting the pervert judge who molested several victims too...he was disabled, he obviously overwhelmed his victims with alcohol or something...of course, when he was appointed as a judge, people came forward.

@garyoreilly8934 12 дней назад

18 years ago I was beaten by 2 guys in a fully unprovoked attack. I was walking home in daytime, they were drunk and without a word attacked me. The beating stopped for a few moments after my water bottle rolled out of my hand when I was going unconscious on the ground and they asked me to hold the water bottle again so they could continue to beat me in the face. They didn’t know me and I didn’t know them. They did permanent damage to my eye socket. I now have a plastic sheet replacing orbital flow bone. I Suffered from double vision for a long time. I still suffer double vision when lying down. Went to court and I was treated like the criminal. I had to do all the talking. It was humiliating and awful experience. They didn’t have to say a word or have any interrogation. After everything they got a fully suspended 3 year sentence. I lived with the physical and mental affects and they were walking around the same village as me with zero consequences for what they did. I see nothing has changed and that woman has a journey ahead to make peace with what happened.

@audreyh9052 12 дней назад

That’s really awful and I feel so bad that you had to go through that and that girl had to go through the same. There is definitely something wrong with the justice system and our country in general and it’s only getting worse. I hope you’re doing better now and find some peace eventually from what happened to you.
