Anthony Lyons appeal to go ahead next week
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Not guilty
Outcome: In November last year the three-judge appeal court found that the six-month custodial sentence imposed on Lyons (52) for a violent sexual assault was "unduly lenient" but reserved the reasons for its judgement and later reserved its decision on what sentence should be imposed in its place. Lyons, of Griffith Avenue in Dublin, was jailed for six months by Judge Desmond Hogan in July 2012 for attacking and sexually assaulting a woman in the early hours of the morning of October 3, 2010.
