'Squalid and misogynistic': man who exposed himself and threatened female garda is jailed
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Imposing sentence today, Judge Orla Crowe said McDonnell's comments to the female garda were "misogynistic and vile" and said he made persistent threats towards her and her colleagues as well as exposing himself. The judge said the case warranted a headline sentence of four years before she imposed a sentence of three years, taking into account the mitigating factors including McDonnell's plea of guilty.
