77-year-old Cork man's 11-year jail sentence for sexually assaulting granddaughters upheld by Court of Appeal.
77-year-old Cork man's appeal against 11-year jail sentence for sexually assaulting two granddaughters rejected by Court of Appeal. The appellant claimed the sentence failed to consider the principle of totality and that his age at the time of sentencing made the impact greater. The Court of Appeal, however, stated the offending took place over a significant period of time and the children were extremely vulnerable.
