Timothy O’Sullivan (67) jailed for 11 years for grooming and raping two boys in 1990s
His barrister told the court that O’Sullivan was very ashamed for what he had done and the hurt he had caused.
Despite that advice, and despite the fact his sentence was “very much in line” with what was to be expected, he said O’Sullivan came to the conclusion that he wished to appeal. He said the courts were presented with victim impact statements on a daily basis which showed how “victims find engaging with the criminal justice system very difficult and traumatic”. Victims were entitled to put proceedings behind them and get on with their lives, the judge added.
