    Man walks free from court pending appeal after being jailed for three years for serial rape of daughter!
    A man who admitted sexually abusing his daughter at least once a week for ten years has walked free from court after a judge jailed him for three years but granted him bail pending an appeal.

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0121/patrick-o-brien-rape.html

    This is unreal, bail pending appeal, he should be in jail!
    One has to wonder if sexual crimes are taken seriously by the judiciary anymore.
    "Mr Justice Paul Carney said it was one of the worst case of abuse of a daughter one could possibly find and it was at the top of the scale.
    However he said he had to consider the health position of the accused"
    Unfúkingbelievable:mad:

    As I was saying in another thread, the bastard should have been left to fester and rot for the remainder of his disease ridden days in some forgotten dungeon of Arbour Hill. :mad:


    EDIT:

    And that excuse for a judge should be fúcked into the cell beside him.

    However he said he had to consider the health position of the accused.

    Isn't it wonderful to get that level of consideration.

    The time has come for minimum mandatory custodial sentencing for rape and sexual abuse.

    Too many judges are simply out-of-touch clowns when it comes to sentencing for sex/abuse crimes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,653 ✭✭✭Ghandee


    Our wee country is steadily disappearing down the sewer it seems.

    Bastard should have been castrated without anaesthetic.

    A damm sight more consideration than he gave his daughter!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭jaykay74


    I'm confused about the bail pending appeal. He pleaded guilty. Am I missing something here :confused:

    What's worse is that the Prison Service had told the court that his illness could be managed behind bars, yet the judge ignored it.

    The disgraceful Justice Carney.

    Again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,408 ✭✭✭bbam


    Listening to that poor woman on the news.

    She's been seriously let down by the so called justice system we have.

    Surely the DPP need to speak up. This is essentially a deterrent to reporting or attempting to proceeded with rape cases.

    Have to say if I were related to that poor woman, that sentence was the signal to dish out proper justice.

    Same can be said for that useless cnut judge Martin nolan.

    This is why victims stay quiet.

    That beast would have been safe in prison. We can only hope...

    Sadly, these things don't shock me anymore. Ireland surely must be one of the top Western countries where you can rape women and get away with it so easily? :(

    It is compassion which separates the State from the scum.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,083 ✭✭✭meoklmrk91


    I'm sorry but why does someone's age and health come into crimes? This man deserves to die in prison for what he did to his poor daughter. If someone commits a crime and is sentenced to prison they should ****ing go and not get to walk free because they are old. What does that have to with anything.

    This country is a ****ing disgrace, why would anyone who has been the victim of sexual assault, rape or abuse come forward when they are treated like this. It must take an unbelievable ammount of courage to come forward then only to get a slap in the face from a sentence like this. I swear the judicial system is nothing but a bunch of pedophile and rapist sympathisers, still after all we have been through in this country this is treated as a petty crime, for once I would like to see one if these yokes get exactly what hey deserve. For shame!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,540 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Maybe the judge is hoping someone will take him out saving the state the cost of a trial.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,708 ✭✭✭curlzy


    God I hate being a woman some times. Between Savita, the gang rape in India, this instance etc etc etc it's really very hard to not take a disliking to men in general***


    *** Yes I know that's unfair : ( and I don't like thinking like this at all.

    Firstly, this poor woman gave up her right to anonymity so that he would be named and shamed.

    So, when Justice Carney suspended the last 9 years of a 12 year sentence, that must have felt sickening beyond comprehension.

    Then for him to let him walk free pending an appeal? How must that poor girl be feeling right now? According to the article she and the rest of her family were visibly upset in the court. I'd wager that that is somewhat of an understatement.

    It started when she was 7. Just 7 years old. The bastard.

    Carney should be taken out of the courts with his record of sentencing. I actually sometimes think he may be mentally ill or just evil. Not sure which.

    Can Judges be sued for gross negligence?

    What has the Savita incident got to do with men?

    Your comment is rather ridiculous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,420 ✭✭✭Lollipops23


    I'll never understand why a person's age comes into it- we don't take away Nobel Peace prizes or any other accolades when someone becomes old or frail, the same should apply to punishments.

    Being old doesn't undo the terrible things that man did.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,708 ✭✭✭curlzy

    A grip of what? If you want to discuss something or raise a point then you need to be a bit clearer.

    At least as a woman you can't be charged with rape.

    I think you'll find that most of the people expressing outrage on this thread and feeling genuinely sick because of this story, are men.

    You think Savita dying has nothing to do with men? Really? You don't think that she died due to the the Catholic Church's influence on this country? Guess who run the Catholic Church? Hint: It ain't women.
