McEvoy of Carrigacurra, Valleymount, Co Wicklow, pleaded guilty to burglary of his former partner’s home in Tulfarris village outside Blessington, Co Wicklow, on May 21st/22nd, 2016, and assaulting her on the same occasion. He also pleaded guilty to a charge of harassing the woman, a 39-year-old dental nurse, at various locations between April 27th and July 27th, 2016.
The judge said McEvoy’s victim had made it clear that their relationship was over but he would not take “no” for an answer. The woman reported the incident to gardaí in Tallaght before returning home that evening and was settling down to watch Netflix when McEvoy “suddenly appeared out of nowhere” after laying in wait in her house after entering it illegally. The court heard he was wearing latex gloves and dressed entirely in black clothing including a pair of her leggings but shoeless.
Throughout the ordeal, McEvoy warned his victim that she was under threat from the IRA and she needed him to protect her as well as her ex-husband and their child. He also threatened her that there was a “crew” who were in Poland who would kill her mother. McEvoy also took her mobile phone to send texts to end a potential new relationship with another man and instructed the woman to have a shower to wash away DNA.
He also made false allegations against her in calls posing as a garda and a member of the Dental Council to her various employers. “He seemed to think he was invincible in denigrating her,” Judge Baxter said.
