A garda has been jailed for two years for sexual assault of two pre-teen children. The man, who can’t be named, had decades of service as a member of An Garda Siochána. In a powerful victim impact statement, the mother of the two children described how the man had “made out gardaí were on his side” after the revelations emerged. “He sent me screenshots of what his colleagues were saying about me, that I shouldn’t have reported it – these were members of An Garda Síochána,” the woman told the court during the sentencing yesterday.
