Judge spares sex abuser from jail in line with daughter’s wishes
"Suspended sentence for businessman OH after pleading guilty to indecent assault
Judge Carroll Moran said OH a father of four, was guilty of a breach of trust and the fact he had abused his own child was a further breach of this trust.
A 61-year-old man who subjected his young daughter to years of sexual abuse has avoided a prison sentence after she indicated she did not wish to see him jailed.
Earlier this month, Limerick businessman and former guesthouse owner OH was remanded in custody and warned he would be going to jail after harrowing evidence of the abuse suffered by his young daughter was outlined at Limerick Circuit Court.
Mr H, with an address at Westbury, Co Clare, pleaded guilty to 12 counts of indecent assault of his daughter SR between January 1988 and December 31st, 1990, and a further 20 counts of sexual assault between September 1991 and December 1995.
The offences occurred at the former family homes in Foynes, Kilcornan and Adare in Co Limerick.
Ms R, who waived her right to anonymity, told gardaí the abuse started when she was five years old. She also recalled how she was beaten and chastised by her father for mispronouncing words."
