Mr Crotty pleaded guilty to attacking Ms O’Brien at the Limerick Circuit Criminal Court after being shown CCTV footage of his violent assault which left the woman unconscious.
On Wednesday Judge Tom O’Donnell ruled that Crotty should only face a three-year fully suspended sentence, saying a jail sentence would mean “his army career is over”. As per the reporter, Crotty insisted he was “not answering” when asked if he was sorry for his assault on Ms O’Brien.
