Speaking outside court Sinéad O’Neill, from Killybegs, Co Donegal said she was speaking out to show others that support was available. She said that she felt stuck in fear but that she received “amazing support” from the moment she reached out to gardai for help. The offences occurred over the course of a six week period between the woman meeting the man for the first time in May 2019 and his arrest by armed gardai at her home in July 2019. Ward does not accept the verdict of the jury and continues to maintain his innocence. He has been in custody since his arrest on 17 July 2019.

Welcome welcome welcome to Ireland south where a Garda gets 3.5years for same crime...
