Judge also placed the pensioner on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years
A 70-year old who sexually assaulted his daughter-in-law whilst visiting the grave of his late wife was spared jail today .
Prior to imposing the sentence, Judge Geoffrey Miller KC was told by a Crown barrister that the incident occurred when the victim was visiting her mother-in-law’s grave. Mr Connolly said that after placing his flowers on the grave, the defendant stumbled and was assisted by his daughter-in-law. As they then walked up the footpath, the defendant grinded his groin against her then sexually assaulted her both over and under her clothing.
Defence barrister Conan Rea branded his client’s offending as “unsophisticated” and said the apology the day after the sexual assault was a clear indication of his remorse. The defence barrister concluded his submissons by pointing out his client had a clear criminal record.
