Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Melanie Greally sentenced Cleary to four years in prison but suspended it for four years on condition that he engage with the Probation Service for 12 months and not have any contact, either directly or indirectly, with Ms Maher or come within 500 meters of her family home for those four years.; Judge Melanie Greally had previously adjourned the case having heard evidence because she said there were "very concerning aspects" of Cleary's behaviour.
