A man who turned himself in to gardaí after seeing footage of himself assaulting a homeless woman on RTÉ’s Crimecall has avoided a jail sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
Derek Kavanagh (48) was given a three-year fully suspended sentence after he pleaded guilty to assaulting the woman and causing her harm on James’ St, Dublin 8 on May 7, 2022.
At a sentence hearing today the court heard that Kavanagh, with an address in Walshetown Park, Newbridge, Co Kildare, had been attending a work function at a hotel in Santry on the night.
