George Boyce told Letterkenny Circuit Court in Co Donegal that he could not remember anything about the incident

A delivery driver who followed a woman home before assaulting her on her boyfriend's doorstep during a "sinister and bizarre" incident has been jailed for two years.

The terrified woman thought she was safe when she reached her boyfriend's home at Beechwood Park but Boyce grabbed her and dragged her to the ground. The woman's boyfriend alerted Gardai and handed over camera footage of the suspect leading to Gardai issuing an appeal locally about the incident. She added that she finds herself "zoning out of life" but still recalls her attacker putting his hand over her mouth which she found a "revolting experience."

When interviewed he said he had no recollection of doing what was alleged but admitted that the evidence was there to say that he did and that it must not have been nice for anybody to have been put in that situation. A sum of €1,000 had been offered as a token of remorse to the victim but although she had refused it, Boyce wanted it to be forwarded to charity.Passing sentence Judge John Aylmer said this was a violent attack which took place at 3am.
